more like there is no big incentive thus far. Off world mining like extracting moons helium 3 deposits for first gen fusion reactors is a national motivation. Or not getting outgunned in orbit leaving your ICBMs vulnerable to things like mass sat constellation equipped with cheap interceptors. That can detect a launch and intercept it before it manages to even stage properly

Getting to orbit because I FUCKING LOVE SPACE leaves budgets tight and only restricted to the most interesting endevours like getting pretty pictures of other worlds
