It would be trivially easy for me to go, since I'm in Columbus this

and now find myself wondering why anyone ever goes. It looks and
sounds like the opposite of fun.

Well, I guess it depends on your definition of "fun" and how active you
are in the radio hobby.

Dayton has a *HUGE* flea market (ham and SWL stuff, technical stuff like
lasers and Tesla coils, you name it, it's there), manufacturers
introduce all kinds of new equipment and have current equipment on
display and for sale, they have many seminars (RTTY, contesting, DX,
etc, etc), dinners for special interest groups.

The only "problem" I have with Dayton is that there is SO much going on,
it can be overwhelming and frustrating, as there is not enough time to
see everything.

Your mileage may vary.
