The economics don't work the same on earth.

What makes the economics better in space?

Are there any unique use-cases waiting to be unleashed?

Regular maintenance methods are cheap on earth and infeasible in space.

Keep in mind economics is all about allocation of scarce resources with alternative uses.

No, they don’t work the same. They are much more difficult in every way in space.
