connections over the DUB hub

Quote: "It's not enormous, it's really not. 6-7 flights each day to a whizz bang total of four, soon to be five US destinations isn't huge. It's niche and it's well marketed and it supports a large P2P operation, however it's barely a hub and spoke. By way of comparison, BA long haul at unloved LGW is bigger.
Kudos for still being in the game though"

Doubt if it's too avoid LHR as all domestic routes are at LHR-5 and connecting is dead easy if staying on BA and relatively easy otherwise.

No it's probably more to do with:

(1) only 7 UK airports offer flights to/from LHR; and

(2) pre-clearance at DUB avoids the aggravation at the US destination (rather than at LHR).
