If you are asking for government and research needs rather than commercial then ISRO (Indian space research organization) beats SpaceX

That being said, ISRO focuses more on research and scientific world as compared to the commercial world but they were the least expensive option out there before SpaceX and the only differential which causes the pricing is actually re-usability aspect of SpaceX rockets/launchers and ISRO is actively working towards that too.

And another thing as brainwad said here but Space part of SpaceX is just 10% of the claimed business according to their S-1

So, in other words, launch is not actually a commodotised thing yet and there's nobody else out there that can actually beat SpaceX on price.
If you want to invest into a company that barely does space at 10% and is 90% a datacenter Reits essentially at a P/E ratio of 90 whereas others have around 10 so you are gonna overpay for 10 times or a magnitude more

Then sure, yes you are correct.
