Space is hard. Like, really really hard. How do you assemble things in orbit without first getting the material up there? And if you are hauling excess mass to orbit, why not build it on the ground? It may make sense in the future to assemble on the Moons, should we one day have a way of extracting and processing materials on the moon into something useful, but we are so far away from that.

As for an alternative to rockets, there aren't really any. Spinlaunch is the only one I can think of, and it still uses a rocket.
