I find it absolutely baffling that anyone outside of New York City cares about the mayorship of New York City.
People in many countries care about the mayorship of their largest city though (London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam), because they have an outsized influence on the national stage

Yes, but the big difference is that not only are all of those capital cities, but each is also the single totally dominant metro center of the nation. NYC is our biggest city, but we have many large cities, and we're a bigger country.

Berlin has Munich to contend with and Madrid vs Barcelona. Rome vs Milan. Either way, the dynamics still hold here. NYC is much larger than any other US city and has outsized cultural influence.
