      SpaceX can make the payloads, and they already do in the form of starlink.

      NASA carries out research/experiments something that spaceX probably doesn’t want to compete in since for the most part it does not pay

      Uh, basically no.

      NASA has experiments to run, spaceX has no idea what science NASA is interested in doing. So having SpaceX make the payload doesn’t really make a lot of sense.
