Can't really figure it out. Don't necessarily see any concrete benefits from building a hub. Maybe increases reputation?

It give you access to connecting passengers.

Sorry, could you elaborate a little more on what that exactly means in-game?

How do connecting passengers work?
Connecting passengers are generated from either your own hubs or a hub of an alliance member. Connecting passengers are shown as the blue part of the loadfactor bar on the route details page (see below). Regular (O&D) passengers are preferable to connecting passengers, as the latter provides half the revenue of a regular passenger. Think of them as filler or a bonus for when you can't fill all your seats. The number of connecting passengers available is proportional to your traffic into the hub. Regular passengers are always boarded before connecting passengers, so if you already have 100% loadfactor on a flight, connecting passengers will not be boarded.

 

^That's directly from the FAQ.

Sure, but you aren't saying this very nicely (10 different places), like you're implying they're stupid. AE is quite confusing at first.
