I think even SpaceX fans have been waiting for years for others to finally adopt partial reusability, and thus support this effort.
My complaint with Themis had only been that it didn't sound like they were taking it seriously back when it was announced.
Even after all these years, there has only been one non-SpaceX orbital rocket with reusability built-in to the design goals from the start, to actually fly (but not reused, yet), so seeing another one getting closer to that is good.
Edit: Though, IIRC Themis will mainly be doing hop tests in preparation for an orbital design.
