On the other hand, SpaceX benefited from decades of NASA and other companies supporting the supply chain and needed infrastructure (which is what enabled them to achieve results quickly)

I compare the vision and management of an individual, Elon Musk, to bring together the resources necessary to achieve fantastic goals against gigantic bureaucracies that exist to suck up resources without commensurate results. SpaceX has a vision for the future of mankind and will work towards achieving that goal. ULA has a pipeline to fulfill. SpaceX is just getting started. Apples and Oranges.
