Having a high density node also be a transfer station makes a lot of sense from a network point of view. If you assume equal amounts of volume from passengers traveling north/south vs east/west, having the transfer station elsewhere forces half of your passengers into a situation where they have to transfer instead of directly boarding the train they prefer. Transfers, even Skytrain-to-Skytrain, add friction to a trip and make the system less desirable to use.
