Asteroids and space debris and radiation and 0 gravity and 0 material resources at your feet are some thoughts off the top of my completely ignorant head. But yeah why not try to make a floating city in the sky, i.geuss it would be expensive and not yield much purpose or point, and then one says why not both

It only takes like 3 or less days to get to the moon, but maybe it It still is easier to build in space?

No. Space habitats do not have the protection of a worldsoul. Demons have a much much much easier time manifesting in the void of space.

Our technology is currently optimized for spreading across a planetary surface.
As an example, the difficult part about Mars is getting there. You just need to seal it in and manage your atmosphere with machines instead of plants. There isn't actually anything left you need to invent for Mars colonization to play out.
Space habitats are different. Space is mostly space. Operating in vacuum is expensive, operating in 0g is expensive, and neither have been solved for yet. There's also the matter of resources. You need to move around or move things around in space. Moving things around in space in slow and expensive. Basically you'd need to build a self contained fully self sustainable tube and the main purpose is to replicate itself. We're not there. Cylinders are the future, but so far in the future it's someone else's problem

It's easier to build your little habitat where there are resources, instead of the airless void.

Planets are great if you already have them, but habitats give you a lot more bang for your buck. Still, the challenges of making them even partially self-sufficient are enormous. And it's not even about the big engineering stuff, it's the chemical and ecological cycles that we're not even close to understanding how to close. Hell, we don't completely understand our own native ecology yet

Space habitat demands completely closed cycle living. Planetary life can be open cycle, even on shithole planets like the Moon.
