A launch loop doesn't make sense, it's too risky (from a business sense) for this sort of project and too expensive too.
Also, the obvious use of a launch loop is for launch, of course. Why serve a market where prices are cents per kilogram when you can serve a market where prices are hundreds of dollars per kilo? And with less capital investment too.
