Like you said, it doesn't do anything that broker shipments don't do, but it'd accomplish it in a more streamlined manner.

I am guessing that it is most of all a design limitation. Things in a solar system don't communicate with things in other solar systems. That is why broker shipments are made the way they are; as fire-and-forget packages.
As for practically, it just seems redundant and too uncontrollable to be useful.
The henges are mostly just lore objects, they might be used in more ancient themed story missions. Could let them open a portal to temporary instance dungeons for example.
