    I mean, no it's not.

    Kessler syndrome is about a chain reaction that destroys everything in orbit and keeps us from accessing space for years.

    Ruining your view is not "nearly as bad". That makes you sound like one of those folks on Martha's Vineyard, opposing offshore wind turbines that local communities desperately need, because they'll "ruin the view".

    The night sky is also polluted by your home's lighting and car headlights but that doesn't seem to be a problem for most people.

    yeah, you can't turn off your home's lighting, additionally everyone lives in cities anyway, so it's moot!
