If New Glenn ever launched people they’d build the escape system into the crew module, much as SpaceX does with Crew Dragon.

Maybe; SpaceX isn't taking that approach for Starship thus far.
SpaceX doesn't have the vehicle at a point that they can worry about the details of the crew compartment beyond concept renders and operations planning. As it stands they don't even have a plan for carrying large non-starlink payloads yet.
That’s all pretty heavy assumptions considering all we have is public knowledge. Given that SpaceX already has some launch contracts that can be switched from Falcon to Starship I am sure they have plans and probably development for non-starlink payloads going on.
