We accounted for high margin things like drug producing plants and high value gastronomic things like mushrooms and leafy greens. These are the only viable crops and are exceptional, not normal. This is like saying mice are a desirable pest because drug labs use them for research. Yes, sure but it’s a very specific use case, but don’t pretend it’s the norm.

"These are the only viable crops and are exceptional, not normal." No, they are not the only viable crops. I'll guarantee your studies don't take into account various methods of hydroponics for various crop types. Almost every study I've ever seen is purely focused on NFT vertical farming. NO JOKE it doesn't cover everything. You aren't growing corn in an NFT system. You will do it in a vertical DWC system. I took ag/hort-sci in high school, where I learned about these systems (hanging gardens of Babylon, anyone?) I was running vertical farming systems in the 90s in high school. The tech works. Learn which method of hydroponics is required for which crop. Plan your economic requirements. Literally basic high school education requirements and most of you don't seem to get it. not sure what happened between the 90s and now for y'all to mess up basic technology so badly.
