You've got it backwards.

Airlines are generally the ones asking for these safety upgrades before anyone else. They would love if every airport had Cat. III approaches on every runway, and there were designated parallel runways at every airport.

Airlines like higher classed airports since it frequently means the ability to handle more traffic safely, and better service from ATC.

Opposition to airspace changes are ALWAYS nimby's. ALWAYS. Go look at the public comments for any proposed change.
