It's probably seen more as a herald of things to come. SpaceX will not be the last private entity throwing things in orbit. There have already been concerns about the amount of space debris that currently exists and coordinating it to avoid costly and time consuming repairs/replacements (or in the case of ISS, life threatening) accidents. It's probably seen more as an opportunity to acknowledge a problem early to try and prevent issue before the problem grows too large and to consider mitigation strategies now.
