      No-one is in the market for launch on a reusable rocket. They’re in the market for launch. The reusability is merely how spacex is undercutting the competition.

      Spacex in no way has a monopoly on launching payloads. You can launch from North America, Europe or Asia, if you’re willing to pay.
