So yes in Ohio it probably will be underused, the only reason to have high speed in Ohio is to get from one side to the other while spending as little time as possible in Ohio.  
The Amtrak out of Chicago has to abide with speeds in the Chicagoland area but the point is to get somewhere without having to drive and deal with traffic. |
Yup, Ohio is nowhere near as dense as the built out states of New Mexico and Utah.
