People go into space to work in zero G. That’s the whole point (OK, that’s an exageration) of going up there. Why get rid of the reason you’re there?

For long distance travel (like going to Mars) it may make more sense, but a space station is a platform in zero G. That’s one of the main reason to build it. If you wanted to do experiments in gravity, you could do them on Earth.
