They're so far ahead of the competition that they could just pretty much keep printing money with F9 and Starlink for the next ten years at least. Starship R&D is burning a lot of money, but it doesn't even really have a proper reason to exist unless they can achieve every last thing they want it to do. So they can and should keep minmaxing Starship until it can do every circus trick, if the end product was a compromise in any way, the whole thing has just been pointless
