When the jubilee line was extended LCA was already a busy
airport and IMO was a clear target for the JLE to terminate at
instead of the rather pointless terminus at Stratford.

London City is and always will be quite a small airport. It currently
handles about 1.7 mppa (million passengers per annum). Assuming 50
weeks of 5 days, that's 6800 passengers per day. According to Newham
Council, Stratford station (all lines) currently handles 52,000
passengers per day. I fail to see the logic behind "clear target" and
"rather pointless terminus"
