Or maybe it is that SpaceX is doing simulations on a level ahead of what everyone else does.
Here's one of several amazing videos from SpaceX simulations. (There are more, but I don't have the link to the others)

Nobody in congress or the senate gives a crap about if the SLS achieves anything, as long it keeps paying for jobs in their home state. Even senior leaders at NASA hate the SLS, and the fact that it hamstrings into using ancient technology that was difficult to use, even before everyone with the knowledge to operate it retired.
NASA would much rather be developing new rocket technology, rather than painstakingly rearranging old rocket technology. But doing that would risk Apollo era jobs, so instead we have the SLS.
I bet some other automakers are probably doing something like this but I don't recall anyone talking about it at any conference yet.
The digital twin model is just a data model. Advanced simulation could be considered AI, but that border gets fuzzy with "just the same math everyone has always done, with more compute."
