It says they had to delay several flights over a period of a few weeks. Starship isn’t flying anywhere near that often. These are routine Falcon 9 flights and they should be able to have very tight windows in time and space.
My reading is that SpaceX was loose with their windows because it’s easier and they didn’t think it mattered in a remote part of the ocean. Now that there’s an actual reason, they’ll probably tighten it up.
No, these are delays for anticipated Starship reentries over the Indian ocean. Falcon 9 doesn't reenter there. They keep on scrubbing and rescheduling the launch, that's why it's been several times in the past few weeks.
