well, in this case you would bother with the missiles, because one of them could destroy an entire enemy fleet.

the problem is that it's OP and impossible to render not-OP and accessible to everyone so basically everyone with a hyper-capable ship - which is usually cheaper than a turbolaser - could probably destroy or severely damage the death star, or an actual small moon.

someone with a starship could kill all life on a planet, for far less than it would cost to create the death star.

so it's something that they basically just overlook. Plot device it can't happen because if it could then good bye universe.
