You may be right, but that's not what that link shows.
That link shows the business routes; that is, connections
between two places.  The NYC/EWR/PHL/BOS/DC corridor,
however, serves _many_ routes, and in a relatively small
area.  To find which general area has the busiest air
space, you'd have to compare the sum of all routes going
into a given airport.

That is, the ORD<->ATL route may be busier than ORD<->LGA,
and O'Hare and Atlanta are huge, very busy airports; but
probably neither is busier than JFK/LGA/EWR combined.
