I believe it is for space tourism. Suborbital flights will always restrict possible, wider services, I think.

Spaceports across the world bringing space travel closer to the common man while making 1B+ per spaceport, this will bring hefty returns to early investors, can’t get any better than that!

We gave up so much to build Spaceport America; they still owe it to us to keep suborbital flights in New Mexico. Launching from other places deferred the entire purpose of why we built it.
