Starship has a payload 10x-15x larger than the smaller Ariane 6 variant. It seems like for the cost to be lower you would be wanting to fit as much as possible

It seems like for the cost to be lower you would be wanting to fit as much as possible thus impacting how often it is being launched. So not sure if the two have the same requirements.

That gives plenty of piggyback capacity to swamp the market with.
