When someone uses the word "performance commitments," they usually are referring to SLAs like: "performance for 99% of subscribers 99% of the time."
Starlink is probably below three nines of reliability on even having a connection, and may only be at one to two nines or so on the speed demands. Many people on Starlink get bursts of decent speed and also stretches where the network operates at a crawl.
Thus, they can offer you good speed and still be incapable of meeting performance commitments.
