People need to remember that New Glenn is completely artificial in market terms. Blue Origin had literally infinite money, and if not sponsored by the richest man on the planet it could never exists. And New Glenn even if its 'better' then Falcon 9 (yet to be demonstrated) will likely never make back its development cost.
I think people just don't understand what an absurd amount of cash burn Blue had for the last 10+ years.
So when it comes to iterative vs methodical, this is a perfectly clear case. SpaceX did it faster and for an amount of money that is so much less then Blue that its hard to even compare the numbers.
Go back and just look at how many people worked at Blue, and then do the math on what their cash burn rate was just for people.
