They had the one success on land and two of the barge failures would have succeeded had they been done on land. They should be approved for regular land returns - at least when launching from Cape Canaveral. Those east coast launches go out over the ocean. There's little risk of them crashing into anything when they return from there.
As I understand it they save fuel by not going back to the starting point.
