Arguing about this is absolutely pointless. The US Department of Defense is not going to suddenly give up on Starlink, no matter how many complaints a vocal minority sends out. And neither will all of the underserved people in rural areas that need the connectivity.
Also, increased access to space means that astronomers will have access to far more powerful space-based telescopes. Obviously that's not an immediate thing, but it will happen. Look at what the Hubble deep field images did for astronomy!
If you don't know what I'm talking about regarding the military, just read this:
"Last month, the Army announced plans to experiment with SpaceX Starlink satellites on its own networks.
Meanwhile, Air Force officials have touted the satellites' potential to be used in a hypersonic-missile defense system."
