I don't wanna be that guy, but this USUALLY happens with wholly new rocket types. Original Atlas went through about 16 consecutive launch explosions: Ariane 4 blew up about 6 times in a row. Starship runs on a previously-used-by-nobody fuel cycle (dual staged combustion methalox) and on an unprecedented scale. I'm astonished it got so far this time: they're in credit for 3-4 more explosions before NASA start grumbling.
