Why would people pay more to connect to an exchange with less members? What

My knee-jerk response would be that the big EU exchange points are
trading on their name - as being well-known, well-run exchange points -
to get traction in markets outside of EU, that may or may not have
established exchange points.

Whether operators see value in that is an exercise left up to the reader.
