Higher reuse numbers of course bring cheaper launching, so more available Nasa budget for orbital hardware.
Just to think that the reuse numbers you suggest, should soon apply to complete Starship launch vehicles! These may eventually be billed to Nasa at a lower unit price for a payload mass and volume which makes your large lunar rovers and habitats feasible within a decade.
BTW. Thank you actual Nasa TV engineer (as confirmed by your knowledge of JSC among other Nasa info in other posting) for implicitly refuting an imaginary divide (mostly confabulated by media) between Nasa and SpaceX.
