It's as silly as it's to argue that good off roading car makes also a great grand touring car.

Sure, it may, maybe. But those are 2 very different use-cases, and it's not given or easy by any way.

At the same time it's much more likely that a company that makes rockets that do one thing would also make rockets that do another thing much more easily and faster than a company that does not make rockets at all.

For example Ford makes cars and trucks.
