It had a commercial payload. That's a different kettle of fish.

Early test rockets often pro ide red use pricing for payloads. Some risk the high chance of a failed launch for the reduced cost.

So it really isn't. If it had been a commercial payload on a reliable well tested rocket, yeah, but it wasn't.
