Very big and expensive launch facility could be raised when it's buy from public money. If money is private there is no need to raise launch facility. Look at nearly 2 times higher rocket standed up: NXghjXtNmHY
There are 3 launch komplexes at Kourou. ELA 1 was used to launch Ariane 1-3 and was converted for Vega. ELA 2 was build for Ariane 4, this is where the Soyuz pad was constructed. Ariane 5 lifts off from ELA 3.
