I'm super passionate of space habitats and have done extensive reading about them. This is not a habitat in the real sense of the word. It provides a more spacious environment for the ISS. Therefore, it's just an extension to the already existing science laboratory (not habitat).
For humans, a habitat should replicate earth's environment. Gravity is the first thing that comes to mind, but there are other things it should provide.
I hope in the near future we work on actually building/sending habitats in space with the goal of actually living there, and not only for scientific research.
