A race to provide a better product at a lower cost and win customers.

The launch vehicle itself is to be considered, in some cases you will want a small rocket, but others you will need a different one. some missions require different rockets, and trying to make humanity compete over our final frontier is a stupid.

Space is supposed to unite us, not divide

A race doesn't have to divide us. Competition is important because we want reality to determine what ideas are best, not a committee of bureaucrats.
