SpaceX was built on NASA contracts like the original resupply missions, they won that contract before Falcon 9 had made its first flight. Its as odd as saying if it was not for Boeing and Lockheed Martin the airforce would not be able to fly.

Had SpaceX not been in the crew program that would have gone to Sierra Nevadas Dream Chaser and Boeings Starliner (the later having now built a system to fly NASA contracted astronauts. ).
