At their current rate of launches it probably just doesn't make any sense to put a lot of resources into it.

There has been upgrades in automation for the ranges last year which allow a higher frequency of launches. Plus they started launching again from their second Cape Canaveral pad.

I read that even with their own facility they would still be affected by a shutdown.

In what way?

Launches still have a bunch of government regulations. Which I assume include government workers monitoring or reviewing things.
