Dual deployment also increases your cost. It requires that you have two cosutmers who want to go to the same place at the same time.
This often causes significant delayes and increases the planning effort of all the companies innvolved.
Another problem is that this model does not work for many costumers because there simply is no other cosutmer who wants to go to the same place at the same time.
Arianespace had many problems with this and in their new rocket they are moving away from that idea because of that.
> Falcon 9 launches are only around 60MM if the first stage can be recovered
I'm pretty sure that is false. I think all cosumters pay 60MM no matter what SpaceX does with the booster.
Their early reusable rockets gave costumers a 10% discount from that 60MM but it seems that this is no longer the case.
