It's a false and misleading point. It makes no difference whether SpaceX or NASA is selling satellite internet service.
This isn't a tragedy of the commons scenario, or a "privatize the gains" scenario. It's simply a competing use. For millennia astronomers have had near-exclusive use of the sky. I don't see why they should continue to be able to hog it all to themselves.
