I think that was to be expected. They wouldn't have had a realistic chance of competing with LEO constellations. As long as it was uncertain those would be realized Loon stood a chance. With the current status and speed of Starlink development and deployment it has a high chance of providing regular service in a few years. In my opinion of course.
