Will Blue Origin end up only using NG capacity for internal-launches (TeraWave) and gov work while not offering any commercial missions?

There's rumors around space twitter that Blue isn't even selling commercial launch slots on NG anymore. That it'll basically all be reserved for TeraWave, what's sold for Amazon LEO, and then Artemis/gov things.

From a purely financial standpoint, if their own constellation is making way more money than launches themselves, it makes sense. especially if they "someday" IPO. Though it does mean the US launch market is screwed for anyone without their own rockets until Terran R comes online and (someday) Neutron.

Thoughts?

(Flight 14) Ship taking first-checkpoint early re-entry option. Will come down in planned cleared area in northern-pacific.

Landing will be about 3 hours into the mission instead of the planned 10 but still successful orbital flight.

Must have been something they were unsure about as far as letting it sit up there idle for another 7 hours.

Very likely just being insanely conservative for this first orbital flight.
