I am a 'supporter' of Starlink, and I don't 'claim the problem doesn't exist'. I think its what we have done in space literally since we had space. And it was never considered much of an issue until now.

Of course SpaceX changed changed the scale.

Unless as humanity our position was, we will never do more in space then in the 1960s, we would have eventually study this.

That's what we should do study it seriously.

With Starship we can potentially move to a future where we return garbage to earth or various other things we could think off.
