Why is space colonization considered at all desirable?

It is not the space as currently is, to be colonized. It's the radically technologically transformed space we are after!

Then why not be after technological transformation of Earth first, and (much easier) expansion into space afterwards? Is it only the 'eggs in one basket' argument that supports early colonization?
