I probably over summarized. I think there’s still room to undercut or compete (particularly on specialty projects) until SpaceX hits 10x for sure, and maybe as high as 15x.

And even if there isn't, when SpaceX is booked out for years and you need a launch slot in 6 months, that's when having competition is valuable.

Always look for other ways to compete besides price. (not intended to be as preachy as it sounds :-)
