"to the metro fiber" doesn't really matter. That's just the last-mile latency.
Starlink will be bouncing your packets to earth relays. For all we know, those relays could be directly attached to AWS datacenters. "15-25ms" could be the entire end-to-end latency, not just the "last mile" latency.
Even with your pessimistic estimations that the "15-25ms" is just the last-mile of an equivalently long haul across the internet, we're not talking about some unmanageable increase in latency like geostationary satellite internet has.
