I used to live on Wall Street (literally) and would never have thought about going to Newark instead of NYP.

The same applies Northbound as well. Only 2 non-Acela trains do not stop at Trenton.

I had never done it until the "summer of hell" but haven't gone back. it also saves time depending on where you are coming from. it's 20 to 24 minutes from WTC to NYP, it's 28 minutes from WTC to NWK, and it's 17 minutes NYP to NWK. Total trip time not including transfer time is 37 to 41 minutes via NYP versus 28 minutes via NWK, actual savings is a little more bit more since the transfer is faster as well. in my experience few people do it outside of peak but people who work on wall street and take the train do the transfer in the morning (my experience is riding amtrak, not NJT, fwiw).

H&M was an interline "billing road" and even handled checked baggage from HT to "wherever".In fact, on eastbound trains, if you had a New York ticket, the seat check the conductor gave you was good for passage on the H&M from Newark to anywhere east (with facsimile signature of the Passenger Traffic Manager, no less), and in those days there was no barrier on the platform between Track 1 or 2 and the H&M. If you stayed on the train the conductor simply lifted the seat check after Newark.

The 0635 non stop fills in and does not need to stop any where. The non stop scheduled to arrive WASH 11 minutes after the 0600 regular ACELA ! That is a savings of 24 minutes scheduled for the non stop !That would be an even smaller time save for Philadelphia, Wilmington or Baltimore. That is why the whining from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wilmington is misplaced.
Wonder the ridership NYP - WASH on the present 0600 and 0700 ACELAS ?
