It remains to be seen whether SpaceX just drained their own moat when they canceled Falcon 9.

They’ve now got all their eggs in a new basket. A basket that isn’t entirely in working order yet, and whose market viability is still uncertain because it remains to be seen whether a market that’s used to panniers really wants a laundry hamper.

And is there some law of nature that prevents SpaceX from un-cancelling Falcon 9?

um, they've got 2 years before the basket is retired during which time they can always extend if they need to. why would they want to keep a less capable, more $/lb into orbit system going after Starship becomes a viable, reliable upgrade???
