There wouldn't be an incentive or the capital necessary to instigate the build out of solar without the sphere. Yes, it would be great if someone did that. But the owners of the sphere specifically have a financial incentive to do so for the sake of lower energy costs. There's not a lack of land or sun, so whether they do or do not doesn't amount to a "waste" of energy - anyone else can build out solar production too.
