Blaming the FAA is a straw man, SpaceX has only itself to blame.
Are you sure?
I wonder how long it took SpaceX to get Parks and Wildlife approval for their cleanup plan, and to arrange for the government required observers of their process?
Because I'd bet big money that it wasn't a quick or easy process to do that, and SpaceX doesn't have a reputation for procrastination.
