I don’t see how anyone who has read broadly on this topic could say with a straight face that SpaceX has been just dodging this.

SpaceX has done more to mitigate visibility of their satellites than any satellite maker/operator in history, with the possible exception of classified payloads. They installed sunshades that reduce the visibility of the satellites when fully deployed (in operational orbit) to below the visibility limit in almost all conditions. You have to have exceptionally good timing, eyesight, and dark skies to catch recent Starlink satellites once operational now. But a satellite like ISS is so bright and obvious, you can even sometimes see it in the daytime. (ISS is as bright as all new operational Starlink satellites combined.)
