Yeah, I think there are a lot of people that are missing how much of a perfect bottleneck launch capacity is. Lots of companies putting the proverbial cart before the horse, saying "I'm not gonna be the space launch company, I'm gonna be the space hotel company" – but that's not necessarily how things are going to play out in space. In fact, we've already seen this happen with "internet satellite constellation companies". Sure, SpaceX could've just sat back and launched OneWeb's sats for them, but instead they built Starlink and they'll probably eat OneWeb's lunch. With regards to using Starships as infrastructure, I actually saw a pretty cool idea[1], where you attach either two Starships together (or many to some other central structure) via cable/structure and use thrust to spin up around the center of mass, creating artificial gravity through centripetal force. The linked YouTube video talks about going to Mars/etc with this, but no reason it couldn't be a space station in orbit around earth.
