Yes BAMC is big, as for the capital city of Wales I'm not sure that is such an advantage that a lot of people think it is. Cardiff doesn't have the profile of say Edinburgh Belfast or Dublin as a destination and Wales doesn't have the profile as a country of the others for various reasons I won't go into.
As for catchment area like Exeter that is seriously impacted by the airport next door maybe more so for CWL.
As for what CWL isn't doing that Exeter isn't i think it needs to be asked what has happened to EXT that hasn't at CWL. EXT seems to have been a more steady airport down to I'd say it's owners who have no doubt invested in the airport whereas that hasn't happened in the past at CWL.
