Vega is an infinitesimal blip on the launch industry and will continue to be a blip.

It costs almost as much as a F9 with almost I believe less than a tenth of the performance. It only exists so that Europe can claim they have access to space as long as your payload is tiny

“ they don't have a domestic launch vehicle”

So your claim was wrong
