It's not about just getting better / more proliferation, IMO attacks demonstrate current missile defense is not good enough. While USN intercepting vast majority of missiles (at extreme costs), enough are still slipping through to deter shipping. My understanding is these are basically shit-tier AShMs with limited guidance and anecdotes of attacks from sailers suggest they're not launched in any competently coordinated way, i.e. the salvos are spread over time and limited. They're not huge 10s-100s+ attacks that arrive simultaneously that serious actors can deliver. See Iranian missiles making it past patriots in Al Asad.
