Its actually poor business sense to build a keepstar in every system right next to each other. You only need one in a chain at maximum jump distance. So if theyre not doing it because of business, they are doing it because of clout, glory, fame.
The exact reason why someone would build a keepstar in every system, is the same reason why they would build a palatine.
So no, your point does not stand.
You mean 100 cars costing 100k, because your example is comparing 3 millions worth of cars to 10 millions worth of car
What is the Palatine?
Faction Keepstar.
Only one can be anchored at any time.
Nobody has yet built one as the costs are horrific.
Wow what a way to take my point out of context lol.
No business is going to build a palatine keepstar when they can build multiple normal keepstars because the cost as MANY have pointed out is insane.
You never heard of not keeping all your eggs in one basket.
That is weak.
There are degrees of glory/clout 
EDIT: Why on godās green earth am I arguing the point about some station that doesnāt exist I will never dock in it or see it probably in my life. I need to look at my personal values and question my choices. 
Damn, when was it introduced?
IIRC: at the same time as regular keepstars.
Itās essentially a giant joke from CCP to the playerbase. āHereās this big shiny thing that costs 450x the other big but very marginally less shiny thingā.
Ah, ok, was there a real/lore reason or was it just because why not?
My personal theory is that a lot of vodka or bathtub gin was consumed at CCP HQā¦
i see. another kid.
Imagine the TiDi if that silly Palatine went up anywhere, and people wanted to be on the KM.
It would be so heavy the server would actually go back in time and keep you on the edge of tomorrow.
Also, scarcity and redistribution made it even less likely to ever being built, lmao.
Someone will build it. Just because it can be built.
The more interesting questions are: Will he dare to anchor it? Will it go into some collectors museum? How much would an unanchored Palatine Keepstar worth on the market? Would a buyer dare to anchor it? 
There are not enough resources in the game to build it. Just FYI
There is enough, just not all available on the Jita market at once.
It would take considerable time to buy all the materials, especially if you wanted to avoid spiking the prices.
Im sure there is. The number of keepstars in existance would more than pay for this. Which means we have the means.
I can pay for maybe 2% of a Palatine right now. Just need someone to donate me another 35 billion isk or so.
Easy solution: anchor in C1 hole xD
That has been the dream of many small indy corps and mine.
To turn a C1 WH into fort knox.
The funny part is that it would be basically invulnerable there. Good luck bashing it with medium sized ships. And good luck getting enough pilots inside C1 to actually bash it.
It wouldnāt even survive the anchoring timer. Even if someone could anchor it unnoticed, it would be destroyed within a week. Besides that, you will need a good plan to bring a 250.000mĀ³ Keepstar Quantum Core in there.
An organized group would do that within some hours.
