Somehow I think this is a pseudo-problem. People like to complain about everything, and they can be quite creative. Astronomers are one of the smartest people out there. If you know a machine learning trick, they know two. Or ten. All photos they take of the sky are postprocessed, because of the air turbulence. Are these guys trying to tell me that they can't post-process the satellite streaks out of their images? Why? The sky is static, the satellites fly fast. You can just layer 10 frames on top of each other and figure out how the pixels align and what should be in the photo and what should be out. I would think this is just business as usual, after all, you don't want to announce a big discovery of a new celestial body every time a passenger jet passes over your telescope.
