This was the fifth static fire of the same rocket and frankly it wasn't seen as high risk at the time. If it was, I am sure they would have postponed it, as they did for the planned short-hop. Of course "high-risk" is a relative term. They had a 1.5 mile exclusion zone for the test and the handful of village residents a few miles away were warned to leave their houses to prevent injuries from broken glass, so there was obviously some risk. This was really a just a potential PR problem for click-baity new organizations and casual observers not aware of all the different projects SpaceX is working on. No one from NASA going to say maybe we should scrub Saturday's launch because they know the two not related in any way. Also, there are many Elon haters are out there. I had a few try to blame Wednesday's scrub on Musk or try to imply that it was a failure. (Of course the fan boys can be just as annoying.)
