Seems like we’re going in circles here. Kessler syndrome is about collisions. But one can be concerned about the fullness of a medium without the risk of collisions being the primary concern. This is the case for everyday things like road traffic, restaurant lines, etc.

The "fullness" of space behaves in a way that's precisely unlike those 'common sense' scenarios. Collisions are the limiting factor in this domain. If you're not considering collisions, you're not accurately capturing the idea of "fullness."
