But there ARE competitors. Here are 10: https://thenetworkinstallers.com/blog/starlink-competitors/

Not sure what solution you are advocating for. Is it that the government should shut down Starlink or is that they should prop up other companies or what?

All of them combined don't enjoy the US government funding that Starlink does.

Assuming that's accurate (I have not researched), do you have a theory as to why?

I have a theory but it is not relevant and it doesn't change the fact that it is no longer a "free market" once government picks a winner.

"picks a winner" can be read in two ways.
