How come "Let's just throw a dragon dildo the size of a skyscraper into orbit" isn't something the Russians or Americans ever thought of trying?

Because they were cost plus contractors who would only do what NASA tells them to & also pays them to
SpaceX however is optimizing for costs from their end

Without reusability and modern materials it would cost too much.

Went ahead and cleaned this up a little

Is this another thread about that company that said it would have manned rocket launches to the ISS by this time, but has been doing just about everything else instead?

They do unmanned cargo launches to ISS. Which is almost the same.

oh, they've thought about it before

nobody has done it because the bigger a rocket is, the more expensive it is to build and test it. Plus no normal missions require that much oomph.
