I feel like if I took my AT&T home internet router, drop-kicked it into the bay, then asked for a replacement, they'd charge me a heck of a lot more than $199. :)
You could argue that Starlink have a captive audience, but that's not true in most of the UK/AU at least, where high speed internet is widely available to most. Those who need Starlink probably already have it and own the hardware, their growth market will have to be homes that have other options, and those other options don't charge $10 a month for the hardware.
