I'd rather have 10 flights to 10 different route pairings per day over 10 flights to YYZ and I will be going out of my way to support the carrier that offers the first option.

Generally speaking, business travellers want the opposite. They want lots of frequency and every booking metric confirms this. The one with the most frequency wins corporate accounts, and right now AC is still holding this in Eastern Canada.
Porter is still trying to find its market, hence to build up of several markets and seeing what actuall sticks, where they win corporate, and where they win leisure. Right now it doesnt look like they have made a dent in corporate in any real way, and thats where all the profit is in Canada.
