I have what might be a controversial opinion. Sacrificing terrestrial visible light astronomy for a well developed worldwide satellite communication constellation seems like an easy trade. Astronomers can still do terrestrial radio astronomy, and as far as I know, it seems like the utility of orbiting telescopes far outweigh the utility of terrestrial telescopes.
