They've launched hundreds of times in a row without failure. If your point is that they're blowing up Starship prototypes, well... they're in the middle of a development program and they're not flying customer payloads.

Now they are launching an landing[1] safetly, but it's boring and the news show a cute puppy instead. So for most people the rate of explosions vs launching is skewed.
