What do you propose they do with that space? Adding literally any way to access it necessarily interferes with the roads around it and makes the entire project pointless.
Even ignoring that obvious problem, you can’t use it for housing since there’s nothing there and it’s surrounded by high-speed traffic. Can’t build shops or other amenities there since nobody stops and it’s surrounded by high-speed traffic. You definitely can’t put livestock there.

this interchange is in the city of Houston. of course it’s taking space away.
Those giant empty fields right below it are even larger…
Gee, I wonder why people don’t want to live next to a highway interchange.
And then deal with all the car noise pollution? No thanks.
