Wind turbines and solar farms is another one. It’s same people who whinge about crying babies on plane.

All of those three examples are also rather more important than Starlink.

Starlink is cool, and has some niches, but this is a fairly limited argument in its favour.

All three are greener variant of what was already available. Alternatives to starlink weren’t really available.
