Eh? Both the Soyuz and Falcon 9 are proven spacecraft. That one abort was a fluke and the crew survived without injury. I’m sure they’ve put in some effort to make sure that abort won’t happen again.
Youre comparing a testing goal to an operational goal? How the hell is that even relevant?
We’d all still be using steam engines with your logic, because the moment a gasoline engine blew up in testing we shoulda just given up! And jet engines for aircraft? What a waste of time!
Roscosmos doesn’t consider clearing the launch tower to be a success. There is value in continuing to use proven technology.

Falcon 9 never had an abort with crew onboard, while Soyuz has.

C’mon. You gotta be smarter than that.
