Weatherproof RJ45 fittings are well established and used by most outdoor CPE. I do assume that Starlink figured their connector design was easier to use (the typical weathertight ethernet ferrules are kind of fiddly), but it seems like a poor choice overall considering it's going to make installation a lot more complicated since the cable needs to be fished with connectors on. It seems like a decision that was made to benefit consumer "jammed through the window" install to such a degree that it will make professional installation significantly more difficult, especially that right angle connector is never going to be fishable through smurf tube the way an electrician would install it, and it'd require a huge hole to drill it through the siding the way a cable installer would. That's the big advantage of modular connectors: installers have the tools to terminate cables, so they can run the cable sans connector.
