It’s not a race. It’s a jobs program which provides thought essential services to the governments. Just that nowadays, what is considered essential has been expanded.

Arianespace had lots of international customers, not just domestic government. Presumably that’s all gone to SpaceX now, but that’s a new development. Arianespace used to be competitive.
