Who remembers when SpaceX wasn’t “the undisputed leader in launch”? Amazing how time flies.

while SpaceX has been doing it, approximately 300 times
We’re discussing upper stages here, not first stages. SpaceX have recovered 339 (soon to be 340 in a few hours) first stages, not orbital upper stages.
SpaceX still haven’t technically recovered any orbital upper stages yet, though Starship IFT-4 came very close. They successfully brought the ship back from orbital velocity but a suborbital trajectory.
Blue Origin still have yet to launch anything into orbit.
