For the risk of being a broken record, nobody claimed that reusable rockets were technically impossible. The argument was that they were rather financially unfeasible due to a limited number of LEO launches, so nobody tried (I lost the ESA study on this from the early 2000s unfortunately...).

I'd really love that myth of SpaceX doing the impossible with landing rockets to die. Also because they don't have to, they were the first to do so. That alone is really impressive. Whether or not it is profitable is impossible to tell until SpaceX is publishing audited financials.

Also I have to point out that although SpaceX has very competitive prices for market contracts there seems to be a different services and pricing scheme for government contracts.

This is not unique in the industry to some extent but since SpaceX has no published audits competitors claim they overcharge the government.
