Which can be a failure in itself when you spend 10 years and tens of billions building something "perfectly" only for it to break on its maiden voyage. That makes you wonder what was the point of doing everything so methodically when they could have taken a more efficient and iterative approach.
I'm not saying it's a good system, but one that exists due to the nature of the funding. Those external pressures (especially when it gets political) just don't allow for the same amount of mistakes.
Remember, SpaceX was one failed launch away from bankruptcy.
