Your argument would be better if you had numbers to back it up. What is the capital costs for the project? How much does the capital cost per year? How many customers do you expect they will have?
If Starlink is a 5 or 10 billion dollar project, that's $250-500M to service the capital. At $80 a month for service, you'd need ~500,000 subscribers to cover that cost. I think Starlink can get at least 500k subscribers and keep customers happy with bandwidth and latency.
Anyway, that's just napkin math, but might serve as a better foundation for thinking how likely the business model is to succeed.
