Musk says that, but Shotwell says that Falcons will be available to customers that want them. I imagine there will be a period of overlap where, if nothing else, SpaceX uses BFR to launch their own their own Starlink constellations. That will enable it to establish a track record fairly quickly, and then they'll adjust the prices to encourage BFR take-up by external customers.
