So now the cloud isn't just going to rain users' data, it's going to rain satellites too. Great.

The satellites are designed to completely burn up as they reenter the atmosphere. So it won't rain anything on the ground. And the mass of the satellites is minuscule compared to the mass of dust and meteors that fall into the Earth's atmosphere from space every day.
