You said about Prague:

additional hop of travel to get to it?"

This gets cited often, and I don't really understand why. There are
VERY few European cities that are reachable directly from the US (or
Asia for that matter). Most require transiting some kind of major hub
(London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam to name a few).

So, those hubs are reachable directly from the US and Asia, aren't they?


If we restrict European cities to the ones with direct flight
connections from other continents, we're really limiting the choices.

Yup.


I do understand that the extra hop does add some cost,

Something like an extra US$200 or so, if I remember my research of a couple of years ago. And a round-trip extra cost in time of 1/2-1 day...
