I don't think you get it at all. You're talking about throwing a biggest camping tent in history, but you're not staying longer than a month on Moon or Mars that way. I'm talking industrialized space settlement with own shipbuilding capacity.
To live on the Moon or beyond, you need a proper ship, and steel shipping containers with bathroom tiles, aren't. Those are at best boats to carry people to the ship, at worst cargo sacks. Not the ship. The ship has to be "radiotight", so to speak, and for that, they have to be built in low- or microgravity.
And that raises the question of politics: the world is not only ready to handle megaton sized ships on orbit responsibly, but moving away from such maturity fast.
