Falcon 9 is volume limited, not mass limited. It's difficult to launch more than about 10 tons in a Falcon 9. Starlink does it, but Starlink is the exception, not the rule. For example, the OneWeb launches on Falcon9 were 6,000kg -- they would have launched more satellites per rocket if they could have.
$67M / 10 tonnes + fees = $7000/kg.
