I believe SS1 was hybrid.

Hah! True. I was thinking of vertical launchers, but of course that's
not what I said, so you are quite right.

One can only hope that one or more of these ventures is successful and
manages to turn a profit.

Indeed. But I'm more optimistic about this than I have been in decades
past, precisely *because* there are so many of them, trying such a
variety of approaches, all aiming to make a profit, and many of them
backed by pockets deep enough to give it a fair chance.
