He needs a booster graveyard. But I suppose it's cheaper to just let it fall into the sea.

Yeah, everyone thought they'd land it as usual, but apparently not. Interestingly, it still has grid fins but no legs.
Aside from storage, I'm sure there are quite a few costs to recovery like the drone ship and crew, extra fuel, the legs, etc. that they just decided to save rather than recover another one that won't ever be used again.
