The cities they picked to hand model are bizarre as hell. Major ones like London and Paris are missing but completely unknown ones are in.

London and Paris have fairly uninteresting airspaces from an aviation standpoint. Flat, not many airports. If sightseeing is your thing, there are better ways.

I wonder if it’s based on usage from previous versions of Flight Simulator.

I'd say the approaches into Heathrow (as least on westerlies) are pretty iconic, being that they tend to turn final over central London.
Maybe those are so well known that errors would get easily noticed so they’d have to do a much more thorough job?
