As far as construction or production bonuses you are correct. But there is one useful aspect of having more population located there. More babies! You can use it to cut down on the micromanagment if you are trying to max out the population of all your planets. Your empire wide birth rate doesn't improve all that much, but you only have to send your transports to one place to get them.

Well yeah, but it results in less production overall.

"In fact, it is a waste of population to have more than 10 billion on a SW or RW."

Aside from the already mentioned..64B worth of militia can make life a bit hairy for an invasion force even if all the surface troops and WPs are killed.

Ain't multi retrofitting considered cheating?

Usually no, it depends on what the host has stated before the game begins.
I always allow it.

Goodness no!!

The only time I would call it cheating is in turn based where you could keep retrofitting a ship on the same turn till you ran out of resources. Since turned based is solo play, who are you really cheating?
