I see these launches as early stepping stones to really profitable space industries. Asteroid mining, space manufacturing (like Varda: https://varda.com/), space hotels. You have to walk before you can run.

Actually, point to point travel on earth is something virgin galactic is targeting. If you can go to the edge of space you can travel at ludicrous speeds.

That not the case. Suborbital space flight of the model BO or Virgin do is, but that simply not generally true.
