Laboratory vs. Replicator

My thought: What if a laboratory can be built with a constructor tool after the player has collected all of the laboratory equipment scattered around the map, (or one of each component, I guess.) The player could then use this lab for crafting all of the items previously accessed through the 'Advanced Materials' section in the replicator, as well as for some other things:
What if after the player has scanned some items in the alien Containment Facility, they can use the laboratory to try to find which materials are needed in creating hatching enzymes for the Sea Emperor offspring? What if additional research can be performed to find where the necessary materials can be located, and that's where the player can then locate all of the plant-life samples which the enzymes can be extracted from; an extraction which can only be performed via laboratory. Overall, I think that there are many things which could be done with a laboratory as a 'crafting table,' and other input as to its uses would be fun to think about.
