    I really thought Starship version 2 would accomplish more - I wonder if the switch to 3 was driven by the engines being ready.

    The engines were ready, and the tooling too. They revamped their production line for V3.

    I'm sure even SpaceX expected more out of V2. The repeated RUDs were a big blow. But since V3 is ready, it is time to move on. I don't think V3 is ready significantly earlier than expected, rather V2 lost most of its window to RUDs.
