This is an intentional dark pattern.
Starlink goes out of its way to avoid allowing non customers interact with them. For example, dishy doesn’t ship with an ethernet jack for its router or enough hardware to actually mount it in most situations. They don’t let you even view the accessories store (or prices for the mandatory extra equipment) until after they ship the dish + router.
