In principle not relaying on the same old contractors is not a bad thing. SpaceX has genuine capability that literally nobody else in the world has. Same might be true for the others but that's hard to tell. And its not like the old primes are 'good' guys either. So the fact that Anduril makes its money from government isn't really special or surprising. If anything is surprising its how much money SpaceX makes out of government. And embracing some of these capabilities is what a smart government would do. What a smart government wouldn't do is to have a literal clown 'run' the show talking about 'mass-killing' and 'DoW' and all the other Buzzword nonsense that is mostly about signaling to Trump himself. Not getting locked into one system is good, but not using advanced capabilities because there is only one supplier is bad. Its not SpaceX fault that Vulcan has been a shitshow for example. But while on the merits many of these things can be defended, the way and process its arrived at is almost everything you don't want to have happen.
