And SpaceX is far from alone is missing targets. ULA is behind on Vulcan, Blue Origin is way behind on New Glenn and BE-4, Boeing is exceedingly late on Starliner service.

It's almost like rockets are hard or something and one hiccup in hardware development puts everything back.

A successful static fire needs all pre burners and turbines working. A spin prime is just a test of those components. No real need to wait it out if you are confident with your engine start parameters. They’ve done the spin prime and static fire quite a few times both on vehicle and at mcgregor. Now it’s time to light the candle.
