As part of the JFK rebuilding, they're planning a main transit hub called JFK Central. You would still have to walk or take an Airtrain to JFK Central. And on the Manhattan end, you would end up at WTC, when the vast majority of tourists and business travelers are headed further north.
Again, airport train links aren't the highest priority. In an era of Uber/Lyft, and with existing transit, it isn't a big deal. The biggest issues are finishing the major commuter links like ESA, SAS, East Bronx MNRR, ARC, LIRR Main Line etc.

No, I'm talking about linking up the LIRR with the air-train at Jamaica with a fly-over and then using a special hybrid vehicle to go from GCT-JFK non-stop. The vehicle could potentially ride on both lines. It was talked about as a possible solution years ago (2000s).
