As someone who has a Starlink dish at this price point, I can assure you that it's a real product. The reason why there is a waitlist is to avoid over-saturating the bandwidth in a small area. If your area does not have a lot of users, you can sign up right away. Similarly if you order Starlink for EVs you do not have to wait.

Starlink is providing broadband internet to more than half a million customers. That’s a product.
Everywhere except the southeast US is available now: https://www.starlink.com/map
Even in that region you can buy the RV product which is deprioritized but maybe better than some peoples’ alternatives.
From their own website, also currently the only way to ‘buy it now’ so to speak. Also the only way to get the main benefit of Starlink, internet service independent of geographic location.
The pricing you’re referring to is a waitlist for ? period of time for a vast majority of the US population, at least last I checked.
Waitlists are not a product, they’re marketing.
