Starship's orbital test may happen somewhere in the next 6 months, so until they succeed with that Falcon 9 is all they have (it's plenty though).

It could be earlier than that, but they won’t deploy Starlink satellites to a permanent orbit until later flights, so I agree.

And Falcon 9, with droneship landing and fairing recovery now routine, is really a workhorse. Remarkable how much they fly it.
