I doubt if anyone forgot that rockets aren't reusable. What was said to make you think you needed to remind people of something everyone already knows?

"they're still making money. If only other startups worked that way." is the part that prompted the reminder.

Imagine someone saying the same thing about a delivery service throwing boxes away. They're not burning money and getting away with mass failure. It's a perfectly ordinary way of handling things.
