Launching stuff from earth to a halfway point and then on to the destination costs as much in fuel as just launching straight to the destination. There's no real cost savings by staging from an orbital platform. Construction would work well in orbit for larger objects (and may even be necessary for things such as the ISS and such).
The "middle stop" needs to have a purpose and there aren't many reasons to use one.
Edit: why is this being downvoted?

Reply to What do you see happening over the next 300 years to a millennia? In what way will it be different to how it is today? by Serious_Final_989
This is like asking a blind person to describe a painting. There will be events, technologies, and discoveries that we can't foresee. Imagine trying to describe the Internet to someone living in the pre-Columbian Americas. We could probably, with enough teaching and time, get them understand what it is but the context and experience of the thing couldn't be shared. Now imagine those same pre-Columbians trying to dream up the Internet on their own without any external help.
The nature of human existence will be fundementally different than it is now but human nature will not be much different.

>I always say, if you want to get some physicists to fight, ask them why light propagates slower through a non-vacuum.
I still remember an argument in my intro QM class about why photons slow in a medium lol
