jabird - I think you're oversimplifying the comparison. The Dutch have just one airport for Amsterdam which happens to be a megahub. Buried in that hub are a lot of LCC and holiday flights which add little or no no-2nd-checkin connectivity to the hub - think Arkefly, Corendon, Easyjet and Transavia.
In the UK these flights have already been separated out into a different airport (Gatwick, Luton and Stansted) leaving at the UK megahub just the flights which truly add to network connectivity. Lelystad seems to be a plan for Amsterdam to have its own equivalent to Luton.
If all the holiday flights and non interlining airlines move to Lelystad and Schiphol is still full, *then* the Dutch have a problem equivalent to Heathrow
