I was under the assumption the primary reason is reusability on earth only. This would drastically reduce the cost for building new rockets and would decrease turn around time for new launches. Having it work on other planets is a nice plus but there's no demand for that and likely wont be for decades. |

Elon has made it very, very clear and continues to reiterate.
The entire purpose of SpaceX is to get to Mars.
Launching satellites and other near-earth stuff is nothing more than a needed step to achieve the goal.
