From the article: >To study and mitigate the damage to astronomy and beyond, scientists and industry representatives met this July for SATCON2, with astronomers having just released their official reports from that workshop. The report PDF [1] is written by people from the Lowell Observatory, Vera C Rubin Observatory, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Astronomical Society, etc. So I don't quite understand why you believe that "professional astronomers largely don't see the satellites as a problem for their work" when professional astronomers are the one who written the report and are studying the problem.
