It's not companies. It's the C suite who want to live somewhere better than bumfuck CT, so it's easier for them to catch flights.

Their current HQ is 10 minutes from BDL/Hartford, which has a pretty solid flight schedule/destination map and is the (very distant) #2 airport in New England for passengers.

That said, it's one weakness beyond "not being Boston" may be the issue for a European company - no great way to fly to Europe without a connection that's basically taking you out of the way besides seasonal flights to Ireland.
