    Cause we have lots of places to do science with gravity, its nice to have a place to do science without it.
    And hard to maintain the force without damaging the ship. We have small space stations and shuttles and they would need to rotate really fast to generate gravity similar to earth and that is taxing on the structure and you since your feet would have a lot more gravity than your head closer to the center of the circle.

    If you have seen project hail Mary that is why there is an extendable counter weight actually. It helps move the central point of the rotation further away from the astronaut and let’s it rotate slower and have more consistent force.
