“No profit in it?”

Outside users pay for beam time. Over a kilobuck an hour or more!

The benefit to the sat owner makes it worthwhile. If you can control how many upsets you get, and reduce the number of software reboot/downloads, you spend more time pushing data through your antennas, which pays for the sat.
