Starbucks makes disappointing coffee with a very sad lack of body.
There's no reason for it, they've got perfectly good espresso machines, they must be running 'em wrong.
I bet that's got a lot to do with it.
When I first got the Breville, I bought a bag of Starbucks Espresso Blend, whole bean, tried one cup, threw the bag away.

And roasting beans in batches too large for good quality control.
