Is anyone surprised a startup ignored the ruling of a regulatory body and did what they wanted anyways?

But... but... but... being "disruptive" is a good thing!

Move fast and break [laws]. It's the SV way.

"Move fast and break things" is a problematic motto if it applies equally to your product and work culture.

It's a problem if your product is anything that actually matters. (Which is why several medical start-ups have wound up neck deep in shit in the last few years.)

"Uber, but for space trash!"

(A herd of 2nd tier VC's are now breaking FCC laws throwing money at orbital velocities vaguely in the direction of some random Starbucks in SOMA...)

Challenging power that might or might not be legitimate or have jurisdiction is prudent and responsible.

Claiming random regulatory body has a "ruling" just because some guys typed something into a document isn't responsible.
