Spherical bells make sense for storage tanks but they are not very useful for habitat areas. The inner half sphere where the centrifugal G points inward instead of toward the surface is useless as a habitat area and a planar surface would be much more efficient.
Even for the other half sphere, much of the area is wasted compared to a cylinder design.
