They were invented decades ago.
They have fewer moving parts than wheelbois.
They require less maintenance.
There’s obviously some bottleneck in expanding maglev technology, but what is it?

Still means 0.5 bar overpressure if something breaks, which is deadly. Also the proposed pressure for the Hyperloop was 0.1 atmospheres iirc. If there is a weakness in the tube it will fail catastrophically and a pressure wave kills anyone in it. Watch the video where the mythbusters implode that huge tank.
You basically bring a lot of the problems with space travel down to earth.
"vacuum tube doesnt automatically mean conditions on a spacecraft in sci-fi "
Half atmosphere is less pressure difference than normal passenger planes.
The direction of pressure difference is important
Its the same? Pressurized cabin in a lower pressure environment
The problem is the high pressure environment outside the low pressure environment
