True. Another thing that I keep thinking is that currently the first stages of the rockets are not reusable. Even if they have to build a new starship per flight, they can just reuse the boosters and still be miles ahead of anyone else, with a Saturn V sized rocket ready to launch. Plus they can expand the real state in the ISS much cheaper by just docking and leaving it there.
