It was originally a make-work project for SLS that got sold on the bullshit premise that it was somehow a gateway to Mars even though NHRO as a launching point for a Mars mission makes no sense. Zubrin was correct that it was more a tollbooth than a gateway in that sense.

Now that Big Jim moved it from SLS to commercial launchers I don't see that it's a problem now though. If you're going to have reusable landers and you haven't developed ISRU refueling on the lunar surface then you're going to have to have a d*pot SOMEWHERE in lunar orbit.
