Many people will use 128/Westwood as a matter of convenience if a ride is available (including Uber/Lyft options), but otherwise disembark at Back Bay or South Station. When my daughter comes to visit from New York, for example, I will usually pick her up in Westwood, but if I can't, it's easy enough for her to get to our house using transit if she just stays on the train for one more stop. I don't think that is the same sort of last mile problem that many of the other stations you've listed suffer.

Route 128/Westwood - an auto-oriented park/ride, with last mile issues coming up for passengers without cars or someone coming for pickup.
