Surely the cost of blasting mining rigs into space would vastly outweigh any disadvantages of keeping them on the ground.

Not sure. For example at $100/kg blasting a manufactured home into space is comparable to getting a land to put it in Silicon Valley. The point here is that such low price of space access will drastically change a lot of calculations.
