I think that the hope is they'll be able to increase the launch cadence once they're managing to take off without doing significant damage to their pad and surroundings.

And once it's proven enough to take off from Florida or Vandenbudg they'll be able to launch more freely. At the moment they're moving too fast to risk the other launch infrastructure present there.
