OKC de-annexed some land west (I think) of Yukon a few years back that Yukon wanted for itself. In another event, a developer wanted to develop land on edge of Mustang but OKC did not de-annex land. There were no OKC utilities coming to it so it made sense for Mustang to try to annex it. OKC said no and for now nothing is happening on it.
You are assuming way too much here and you simply are wrong. The city's revenues vs costs are much rosier in denser areas than in rural/suburb areas.
