You can't compare rocket vs rocket. Cheap Russian rockets are way smaller. Falcon 9 destroyed their market even before it was reusable.

You are also missing that Falcon 9 costs as much as costumers pay, SpaceX internal cost are significantly less. They just don't have competition to make it cheaper.
