Calling New Glenn “in production” when the booster failed to be recovered and the prototype pathfinder put in orbit is technology demonstrator - but decrying Starship as testing when they’ve successfully caught to boosters and water landed 3 starships is being economical with the truth.

They’re also in different classes - New Glenn is in competition against Falcon Heavy, not Starship.

Once Starship is in productive service the economics will make both the above into niche launchers.
