Can we really apply that kinda theory to this operation though? This ship is presumably the largest because they need to fit an entire factory on it, not because they are trying to one-up their competitors in some kind of gambit.

Studying and mitigating the effects of wave motion and wind interference is also a particularly impressive feat in industrial engineering. Since the facilities will be rated to withstand weather conditions comparable (or better) to standing ones, one could even say that they're more reliable with increased uptime.
