To be fair, Starship has gotten further than the Spruce Goose ever did.

I kind of agree - but relatively speaking they're at about the same place right now.

Maybe robotaxis will be the Spruce Goose.

Starlink (v2 sats in particular) alone justifies Starship. Include HLS and potential Mars stuff and the comparison does not make sense. Don't listen to people who hate on SpaceX because of Musk. If you want to hate on him pick any AI-related thing, much easier target.
