SpaceX will take many risks and fail many times over in order to develop and progress quickly just look at Starship. SpaceX also follows a far different design and testing philosophy from companies like ULA.

Any fuel that needs to be used for landing is then not able to be used to accelerate the payloads. Reusing boosters also decrease the payload to orbit of a rocket.

SpaceX has an array of chartered vessels to safely return boosters, fairings, and Dragon capsules back to port which all cost money. There is an added degree of complexity that comes with the reuse of boosters. Reusing boosters is expensive and potentially risky.
