and SpaceX customers hope to pocket a lot of use for that money. So taking that point literally - tiny astronomer's society is against the whole Earth load of Spacelink customers, and of course those customers' needs on average trump astronomers' ones.
You're also confusing money with value. If we only go by market price, air pollution should be fine, since lots more people buy electrical power than die from coal plant particulates. But market price only captures a relatively narrow slice of value, and it's heavily biased in favor of people with money.

I'm exaggerating, of course.
