The Soyuz is cheaper. Roscosmos is an objectively better rocket company.
Roscosmos hasn't innovated anything in about 2 decades
Roscosmos doesn't consider clearing the launch tower to be a success. There is value in continuing to use proven technology.

Falcon 9 never had an abort with crew onboard, while Soyuz has.
Eh? Both the Soyuz and Falcon 9 are proven spacecraft. That one abort was a fluke and the crew survived without injury. I'm sure they've put in some effort to make sure that abort won't happen again.
