Some of the design choices that went into JWST will be fixed with larger diameter payloads.
When we get into the government allocating funds it gets tricky. Cheaper launch costs could just mean that the savings go into the telescope rather than risk management. It's hard to get funds for a backup telescope, even if it's cheaper overall.
