Costs are never meaningless when you're talking about technical projects that cost billions of dollars.

Sorry to pop your bubble, but they launched 134 rockets with payloads last year and they all made it to their orbits successfully except for one of their own starlink payloads. This is more than 90% of all launches that occurred last year.

You mean 50%, there were 253 successful orbital launches last year
