While I don't begrudge you your choice, I don't think this is a good defence of Starlink. It sounds too close to defence of leaded gasoline.

Someone else not solving a problem isn't a good defence for someone who creates a solution to that one problem that ends up being a net negative for humanity as a whole, and it's definitely not a defence of a second generation that makes a known problem with the technology even worse.
