Interesting that there was a flight sent to be in the splashdown area. My guess would have been there's not much engineering/scientific benefit to getting in the neighborhood of the splashdown. Maybe some footage could be gotten just for curiosity but at this early stage of re-entry testing of such a new and different vehicle I suspect the odds of being close enough to acquire decent air-to-air visuals would be pretty low. Maybe the flight was an attempt to get close enough for a stored telemetry downlink post-rentry blackout but pre-splashdown?
