SpaceX effectively does already. NASA has already bought extra flights from them. It seems likely they'll buy more now.

Why would they buy more? They can’t even get the already booked flights done before the ISS is deorbited

NASA likely will now need to replace the remaining Starliner missions on the schedule.

Replacing missions isn’t exactly buying more though, right? The total number of planned missions didn’t increase?

Sure. NASA will cancel Starliner flights, and replace them with newly purchased SpaceX ones. They are going to be buying
more SpaceX launches

Ah, I somehow misread the initial comment and thought you said that they bought more Starliner launches. Sorry for that.
