Military inter-satellite links deliberately choose laser wavelengths that do not propagate well through Earth's atmosphere. Such links could only be intercepted from a space-borne platform. I have no idea what laser wavelength StarLink is using, so it may not apply here.
I have no doubt that (like every other geo-mobile satellite constellation) the system allows for "port mirroring" on point-to-point links, or (more likely) relays everything through a ground station even when doing so has performance implications. This allows them to fulfill their obligation to government(s) surveillance.
