You need old distant objects for cosmology, observing the structure if the universe, big bang and stuff. You need variability for finding exoplanets, measuring distance and observing transitions such as supernovae.
Oh, and then a huge part is taking spectra, which means bouncing the light directly off a grating. Filtering transients is hard to impossible there. You need spectra for relative motion, magnetic fields, composition of matter and radiation and of course temperature.
Needing such filters would set astronomy back a few decades
You replied "Optical, RF, or Xray?"
Then I said, "Let's start with optical." but then you disappeared!
So, what's your solution for long-slit optical spectroscopy?
To be clear, I think we're well in the realm of academic discussion; no one is stopping any global constellation due to astronomy concerns. As I've said many times in this thread and elsewhere, I think it's a growth opportunity for the astronomy community to move towards space based observation platforms, and with the plummeting cost of lift (ie SpaceX Falcon and Starship) I don't think that's an unreasonable position to hold.
