I think it's safe to assume that someone at Starlink has crunched the numbers and thinks they can make a profit from fully-utilized satellites. I doubt "what if there's too many customers?" is a problem Starlink is worried about; if that happens, they're raking in money hand over fist and they can afford to launch more satellites.

"Hrmmmmm, if we put 100 satellite into this orbital plane, we'll cover 74m people, 25m of which have shit internet, 5m pissed off Canadians, and with an average monthly spend on data of _____, and on average using Xgb/s in peak hours, etc." But if we shift the plane a bit to the left we'll get.... I also wonder how they'll price discriminate it all. Flat rate really doesn't make sense if they're constrained for capacity.
