"By recovering a booster intact instead of crashing into the ocean, a very large part of launch costs can be saved."
For the Western World that's the big savings.
For China, their big saving is not having boosters fall back to inhabited sections of China willy-nilly...

Twenty years ago, the conventional wisdom was that reusable boosters didn’t make economic sense. It was cheaper to just go ahead and expend them.
Thanks to SpaceX, and their reusable boosters, the cost to put a pound in LEO has fallen by an order of magnitude in that time.
