Laser links can bring in the HFT traders, but having laser links might lock starlink out of some markets.
Some governments would be happy to let a foreign company run internet services for their people if they can guarantee the data must flow through a ground station within the country. If the satellites have lasers though, the government cannot guarantee that, and therefore may ban the service entirely.
