If Starship could meet the payload goals with their V2, they would have retired Falcon 9 already.

>Starship capacity is 150 (reusable) to 250-300 (non-reusable).

Those are aspirational numbers. V1 was supposed to have 50 tons and the actual payload was 0 tons. The confirmed V2 payload was 35 tons (optimistic). V3 has a payload closer to 50 tons than 150 tons.
