This is only for Starship testing. The issue should go away very soon, after at most a few more Starship tests.

The article doesn't explicitly mention it but this debris will be from spent Falcon 9 upper stages which aren't reusable. The area will continue to be a dumping ground for space junk regardless of Starship, but less of it will be coming from SpaceX.
