I dunno, it's silly. What's holding me back the most is nostalgia combined with the clan stuff I have that keeps me independent of the crafters in game.
I might put in the work to kill it or move it some day, especially if i can get new friends and prem ships all but frees me from eco. Doing a little port-clicking feels less terrible than grinding bots for cash, and defo takes less time, and it gives me access to almost all the good stuff for almost nothing up to half (copper) of what the eco dudes put it up for.
