There are far more critical reasons to why LINK aren't likely to have an airport surcharge...

Which is really the point. Seattle doesn't so much have an airport station, as they rather have a station which also serves the airport.
Seattle is positioning the station as a community station between SeaTac city and SeaTac airport.
Even the station name reflects this: "SeaTac / Airport"
If I'm not mistaken, that station will also have buses that connect to it and they're planning on building stuff around the station.
It would be a little like having a single Canada line which crosses onto Sea Island further west, serves Burkeville and adding a walkway to the airport.
Vancouver's Airport spur is a dedicated line doubling as an intra-airport people mover.
The point is, comparing the two stations doesn't work. They are based on different ideas.
