Are we going to run out of space?

During the Artemis launch it was very briefly mentioned that the launch window isn't a continuous window, but a series of windows interrupted for short times. I wondered if that was because of the thousands of satellites in orbit.

No, it's not. Launch windows [0] are about relative position of orbital bodies which enable use of more efficient transfer orbits.
