Yea I think a lot of space programs / launch companies are in the same boat. While they were developing their next generation offering, SpaceX leapfrogged all of them with a reusable rocket, and pivoting to a new reusable offering after sinking a lot of energy and time and resources into developing a next generation offering is not pretty. I think the Japanese space program is in the current predicament with their interim/planned launch rocket.
