The idea is that Premium is optional for experiencing the game (up until colonies) and is only really of benefit once you're well and truly into the game. This is so that you can explore the game thoroughly for free via the web client before spending a cent on anything.

Premium is used at the moment to help cover the cost of running the game servers. Everything you do in game has some impact on the servers, and the theory is that those players who use premium access tend to be the heavy users responsible for most of the load, while new players don't have big cities or starbases, so it's quite fair.
