They're not going to decrease them unless they have competitive. As it stands, every decrease is just more margin. As long as they keep winning contracts by being slightly cheaper than the competition, they can just pocket the benefits.
Look, they've flown block 5 boosters 10 times with minimal refurbishment. Given the cost of Merlin engines, it's obvious they're saving money over expendable designs.
