The Starliner stack is way less stupid than SLS.

It's less than 2x the price of SpaceX, whereas the SLS vs Falcon Heavy cost ratio is like 20x.

Starliner is directly comparable to Dragon. SLS can technically do things Falcon Heavy can't (e.g. more payload).

Starliner is specced to be able to boost the ISS. Dragon (today) can not.
