Starlink will never be competitive with wired connectivity. Source: Claude Shannon.

Exactly my point. So, it will always be limited in market size and hence it may be a gamechanger for a subset of the use-cases, such as the ones I mentioned, but not from an financial standpoint.

Don't go too far with that.

Fiber beats starlink by orders of magnitude.

With coax it depends on how it's set up. Plenty of existing lines have worse upload speed than starlink because of frequency allocations that are expensive to change.

Phone wires are very bad at carrying data and are usually much slower than starlink.
