The only reason for starlink to exist is because telcos were allowed to ignore building out infrastructure to serve more areas. I don't know if incentives were ever provided to get them the capital to be willing to build out the infrastructure in less populates/rural areas.
Realizing that we have turned earth orbit into a garbage pile simply because we refused to step up and do right by our citizens instead of maximizing capitalism certainly stings.
