To build an in orbit refueling station as a gateway to the moon and mars to accelerate public and private interplanetary infrastructure. The reuse of parts minimizes cost which is crucial to the survival of a for profit entity. Public work doesn’t have a profit motive and can choose to focus on lift capacity and building the non economic stepping stones to vastly accelerate things we as a society consider key stepping stones for some broader purpose. I don’t want nasa to be wasteful per se, but choosing to focus on heavy lift and the gateway and base infrastructure seems like a wise focus of engineering talent and money. If they were planning thousands of launches of SLS then fine.
