Starship has exactly the opposite development strategy to what made the Falcon 9 so successful. Calling a complete change in process and philosophy "boring" appears to be hubris.

Falcon 9 didn't have three versions of which two were obsolete. Falcon 9 didn't put optional goals on the critical path, which are now delaying and preventing commercial launches.

Falcon had multiple versions and upper stage reusability was planned too.
