I don't understand it either. The James Webb telescope is a good argument. SpaceX wasn't around when it was being designed. SpaceX managed to flunk their latest launch with a crappy launchpad. They are the ones that are still behind so I don't know why anyone would bet on them for any long term mission. The current "rocket mix" appears to be healthy. Like a stock portfolio that keeps 40% of its value in bonds and only 60% in risky assets. You can't drop the bonds and expect to get a better portfolio performance.
