Every failure of starship is another blow to the confidence of anyone faced with the prospect of travelling on it in future. Would you volunteer to fly on it, given what we've seen so far? SpaceX look like amateurs compared with what we saw NASA do previously.
It should not be surprising everything has to be done on a shoestring in the for-profit endeavour. After the profit is made, nothing else matters, the effort can be discontinued. We saw it with covid, we are seeing it with wars, and we are seeing it with Starship, and actually everything, even the efforts to address the climate problems.
