I’m sure you remember it took years to undo its damage and become that. Years of ‘NASA put a broken telescope into orbit’ even after it was fixed (at the cost of an additional shuttle mission. And you can’t tell me that did not affect NASA”s image and reputation - and budget - with the Congress and the people for years. And Hubble has the warm fuzzies of producing extraordinary beauty as well as excellent science. I’m uncertain whether Webb will have that ability.
