Maybe now, but it wasn't when people first decided to do it.
Also, it might not be now. If we are able to reliably extract energy from lava/volcanoes, we would have enough energy to power the whole world cleanly, which could help immensely with our current climate crisis. Space is a huge expense of energy, which also contributes to the climate crisis.
Free/super-cheap global energy sounds like a huge return on investment.
