Plus the fact that, by design, they have to support planes being able to land on them. Thus we not only have a great network to move goods, but also built-in landing strips across the nation.
I doubt they are in compliance with the latest heaviest planes the military fields, but still, pretty forward thinking and synergy of infrastructure spending for both economical and military needs.

From the perspective of a landing pilot they are rough, uneven and nowhere near flat enough. Many are also built with slants in various directions to facilitate water runoff, which would scare the heck out of any pilot attempting to land any jet.
