How do you know they didn't do those things?
Lapsed··on Amazon asked FCC to reject Starlink plan because it can’t compete, SpaceX says
This is shortly after launch while the satellites are still tumbling. Within a few days they align themselves so that their sunshields reduce their brightness and over the next few months they will raise them selves to their operational orbit.
Lapsed··on Amazon asked FCC to reject Starlink plan because it can’t compete, SpaceX says

Lapsed··on Life is fractal, but markets are square
>Markets don't exist without the nation state because they rely on nation state technology like money

That's not true at all, in many cases markets exist in spite of nation states (think silk road and every other black market).

Lapsed··on Did Google Cripple Edge’s YouTube Performance?
For me, Edge is the only browser that behaves properly when a Youtube video is playing but is not in focus with hardware acceleration on (the exact scenario is I have a game on my main monitor with a Youtube video playing on my other monitor). Both Chrome and Firefox stop loading the video and show the spinning buffering symbol after a few minutes. All three browsers work fine with hardware acceleration off.

Lapsed··on Rocket Launch in New Zealand Brings Quick, Cheap Space Access
Things placed in low earth orbit (where small launchers can put satellites) will de-orbit and burn up in 2-5 years from drag if they have no way to maintain their altitude. This isn't a problem future generations have to worry about. Geostationary orbit is a place where stuff can stay for thousands of years, so space junk build up could be a problem out there.
