Plenty more people come here to punch time, for an increasingly quick upgrade, and to get out all while not getting totally sh!t on QOL-wise. Most people outside of the outstations are just here to get in and get out quickly, whereas a lot of the stagnation in the outstations are people that have no desire to leave their small town. Sure it's cheap to live in the outstations, and you can justify a decent living in one as a captain here, but I personally think it's a little short-sighted just to say 'oh this is good enough' leaving a lot of potential career earnings on the table. But to each their own...
