There are much bigger planets in the Kyper Belt and down grading Pluto to a dwarf or Exo planet is wrong, to be a planet it had to have enough mass to force itself into a globe and have a regular orbit, also it filled another category it had its own satalite called Charon.

If you drew a graph of SpaceXs progression towards a successful Starship flight, it seems to have plateaued recently—or am I just impatient?

Flight 5 was the peak I reckon, since then it has been downhill if anything. I really doubt they would have been happy if you told them before flight 1 that ten flights later they still wouldn't have reached orbit, so it does feel like the time to start questioning how well SpaceX's approach is working out here. If flight 10 is not successful I think we'll see a lot more doubts being raised.
