Nah, RUDs happen, and everyone knows it. It even happens to NASA—in fact, if I recall correctly, the only major spaceflight operator it hasn't happened to is ULA. SpaceX even publicly released a video supercut of all their explosions on some anniversary or another. The risk of this is built in to the entire industry; this won't change anything, and probably shouldn't.
Billionaire vanity spaceflight shouldn't be a thing, but this isn't what should change that.
