Hmm. Maybe, but then again...
The current cost of a 'standard' Falcon 9 FT launch books at $50 million. The stated ambition is to get that figure below $10 million through reusability. Seventeen years ago, SpaceX didn't even exist. Now, they have approximately 65 - 70% of the commercial launch market, with all of the economies of scale which that brings. I, for one, wouldn't bet against them achieving that goal. Everyone else is looking like an 'also ran', and I see nothing on the horizon likely to change that.
