Reports suggest that they require only 3 launches in this configuration LM5B where the core stage falls back, for the construction of their station. They might have made the assumption that chances of damage due to debris is very low considering that only 3 launches are to happen with this configuration.
In case even if there is damage on the ground, there are treaties that govern the liabilities in case.
It would be interesting to know why they technically
chose this particular way of doing it, but the discussion seems too hyperbolic for that.
