Imagine if we get Vulcan, Ariane 6, and New Glenn launches at the pace of current Starlink launches!

I'm not high enough to imagine that. I'd settle for them each launching monthly.

i think for Ariane 6 the marginal cost of a launch is simply still too high to ever get to those numbers. Maybe Ariane 7 will be better in that regard, assuming they manage to make the boosters reusable.
