The minuscule ISS is already the most expensive structure ever built. What universe has something like described being economical?

Starship will be able to lift far more at a far lower price than the Shuttle.

ISS was built with lots and lots of really, really, really expensive Shuttle flights.

The Skylab was 1/3 the size and only needed on launch.

The price of making a station also goes down massively with the going down of general launch prices.
