Yep. You're correct. For these limited number of satellites in this limited orbit, it's not a huge issue. Neither were ride share services when they first rolled out, and yet there is at least one study showing that ride shares are actually increasing traffic congestion. Traffic congestion in orbit is going to be a huge challenge, and orbital debris is already a concern for the various space agencies around the world.
Regulation of LEO is very important not because of how bad things are, but how bad things will become if it is left unregulated.
