The time to Gatwick from central London is as good as that to Heathrow,
especially if you don't pay the extortionate fares on Heathrow Express.
Just being on the tube map helps a lot, psychologically, to make people
want to choose Heathrow.
Yes, that's definitely a factor, as is having local London bus services.
Extending Oyster to Gatwick may help, of course.
A lot of people across London can get directly and inexpensively to
Heathrow by bus, HC or Tube without changing, which is much less true of
London's other airports.
