I'll agree to a point, there is some downside. However, I work in Earth Intelligence, and these are below our usual orbits, and we aren't worried about them from an obstruction standpoint. Yes, 12k or 42k satellites is a LOT, but it's not a "sky obliterating" number (I've seen that description used by anti-Starlink/OneWeb/Apple/Amazon folks).
