There have been 11 Falcon Heavy launches (as I said in my comment) in the almost 6 years since the first flight (February 2018), roughly 2 per year. There were almost 150 Falcon 9 launches in 2024 alone.

What else would you call this than "not a lot of demand"?

    Why are you conflating demand with launch cadence?

    Falcon Heavy is in R&D mode, which is why there have been fewer launches. That has no bearing on the demand for it.

      I think you may be confusing Starship and Falcon Heavy. Falcon Heavy is a production launch vehicle that has launched payloads for NASA, DoD, etc. at this point.

        And if Starship succeeds, a complete dead end.

        Falcon Heavy has done far too few launches to accurately predict the demand.
