This is a Congressionally mandated jobs industry support program, and if you think NASA had any choice here you are mistaken. Many years back it was made clear that NASA would build a BFR. Of course, there were and are people at NASA who want to do it, but there was also opposition at NASA. Congress pretty much made NASA the offer it could not refuse back in the Obama administration (which tried to kill the BFR).
