There's also the question of if subsonic air-launch-to-orbit actually decreases the amount of mass required to send a payload to space. For that I defer to this graph made by the creator of the Pegasus which shows the gross mass to payload ratio of various rockets, any gain is eaten by the fact that smaller rockets generally have a worse mass ratio. Good luck building a plane that can lift Starship.
