Spending $3.7 million on a reusable launch vehicle suggests that this is a fairly non-serious effort by Europe's ArianeGroup. That buys you a few PowerPoints and some coffee for the office. It does not get you meaningfully toward reusable launch.

They need to go all-in on reusability or be utterly uncompetitive.
Rockets are no different from other transport technologies, just harder to make reusable.
No one would buy a single-use airplane, car or even bicycle! You’d need to tow another car just for the return trip 🤣
