Also there's no risk of trapping us on earth with something like Starlink.

Correct, instead there's a huge risk to the ozone layer.

    We dont actually know this yet. There are potentially other risks from burning more things up in the atmosphere as well that we don't know.

    Edit: its worth pointing out, these satellites are a drop in the bucket compared to what naturally burns up in the atmosphere, however that doesnt mean just a little bit more might not tip the scales. Like some co2 is fine in the atmosphere, but when we put extra in its a problem. There might be a balance that the dishes disrupt.
