They are currently doing a contract with the military to run Starlink on their airplanes flying around [1], so I assume it is not a fundamental technical limitation.
In the early days, before the constellation is fully fleshed out, it may have something to do with capacity management. I could imagine that there is a relatively low density limitation right now, so if everyone drove their Starlink connected vans to e.g. Yosemite National Park on a holiday, that would be too much density to handle.
