Both Starship and Starlink are extremely risky, "bet the company" scale projects. Then making Starlink dependent on precise timing of Starship just compounds the risk.
Raptor problems aren't even what most people would have guessed are the biggest risk, there are several things about Starship that could be considered harder. They mentioned the tile problem but there's also catching the booster, re-entry, reliably doing the flip maneuver, weight gain, etc.
