Also starship hasn't started its operational lifespan. These are test articles still. They should absolutely be treating them with respect and due diligence since they are launching, but this is just highly public testing on a reusable rocket. Success not guaranteed and that's why they aren't flying real payloads (even of their own).
Also, pretty sure Apollo 1 was a great example of Saturn rockets not being flawless.
No changes were made to the Saturn family of rockets due to the Apollo 1 fire.
The command pod was changed not use a pure oxygen environment, but that is an entirely separate vehicle to the rocket itself.
What does Apollo 1 have to do with the reliability of the Saturn rockets�
