That's simply the reality of living out in the boonies... Ottawa is in the middle ground, population-wise, where it's no longer viable to provide one-seat express rides to downtown, but also not yet viable to provide dedicated commuter service that bypasses more central neighbourhoods on the way to the core.
Compare travel times across similar distances by transit in other cities, your theory that we're some sort of outlier will be debunked.
