Biggest issue is thermal management. There will be applications that value being off Earth enough (Starlink serves some streaming content from orbit already). But Earth is an excellent heat sink and vacuum is an excellent insulator. The enabler will likely be something like space solar power or mirror reflectors (god help us) that provide really large shadows and a structure to hang pipes on for ~free.
