The satellites can be subtracted out of the image more easily than the atmosphere can, this isn't an issue for actual scientists.
Cheaper access to space also means more cheap space-based satellites which provide much higher image quality.
A telescope constellation would be pretty amazing and would allow astronomy pictures never before possible, similar to the black hole image. A constellation like that could create an effective aperture larger than the earth.
