Curious why, though? Just because it's extremely impressive or does it have a constructive purpose (to facilitate multi-use rockets for example)?
I assume to make recovery and reuse better, as well as to demonstrate capability to NASA et al.

Also interesting from this year’s space flights is that you no longer need to be an astronaut to fly a spacecraft into orbit. Another job reduced to mere mortals by technology. About the only professions left are the ones that have regulatory/licensing bounds, like attorney, doctor and barber.
