All the Starlink launches make SpaceX the only company in the world that has a massive amount of spare launch capacity on a moment's notice. When a customer needs their payload to launch ASAP to start generating revenue in orbit, instead of sitting on Earth waiting for years for an available launcher, SpaceX are the only option. Payload integration would still take weeks to months, but it would be much faster than any competitor. Take, for example, OneWeb, who have been forced to seek another option after launching from Russia become impossible in 2022. They had to go to SpaceX, their formal competitor. Same for the EU space missions after their recent launcher troubles. Same for Amazon's Kuiper satellites, who bought every possible bit for spare launch capacity from every Western company for years to come, and yet ultimately had to turn to SpaceX, because no one else could offer the launch cadence they needed for their constellation deployment schedule.
