Why did nobody do this yet? It would totally be a great prototype for stuff in orbit.

Or align the axis with the major light source if that is different, like the sun for inner solar system locations, and at least the lighting won't keep moving around.
Not much different from watching scenery go by in a vehicle then.
It would have to be big enough to avoid people getting dizzy, and even then it would still be a factor I think. That said, size/scale is less of a concern on the moon I would argue.
Maybe that doesn't matter.
Running on reliable constant nuclear power, from a safe distance.
Maximum gravity at the tilted edges. Only natural gravity at the center. Enter & exit from a tunnel that connects under the center.
Aside from the challenges of location & distance from Earth, if we can build small mobile cities on water (mega cruise lines) on the untamed ocean in Earth gravity, surely a small stationary spinning platter city in low gravity is possible.
I think humans are going to find out that one g has many uses besides health. Good for a lot of manufacturing too. Gravity is a stabilizer, vertical organizer, anchor. Just as low gravity will have many advantages. Being able to quickly “adjust” gravity, by moving location, will be significant.
Who is doing the adjusting and the moving?
I don't think you'd want to move anything large. You'd build eg your factory in the environment where it's best; and build a second factory in a different environment, instead of moving them around.
However, if you eg making computer chips, you might move those around between different environments, depending on the processing step.
If entire factories needed to "move" up and down in g-forces, they should be in their own variable spin bowls! Not sure what kind of factory that would be.
