I don't think it's clickbait at all. The concerns about power usage, proprietary connectors, and lack of ethernet or WiFi 6 seem spot on.

Regarding power usage: old lightbulbs used to be 100W, but now I get to high speed internet by connecting to low orbit satellites at my rural property... I'm not going to complain about 100W.

Propriety connectors: it's not a laptop which i need to connect to many things. I set it up and leave it.

Lack of ethernet: sure, that's a legitimate problem for me... $20 fix.

Wifi 6: as author said, Starlink isn't fast enough to utilize Wifi 6. If author wants Wifi 6 connected devices within the home, that's not Starlink's issue.

Sounds like you are more informed after reading the article. Therefore, it's not clickbait.
I think it is clickbait because I believe nearly all the complaints aren't valid. "I bought a new Lamborghini and it failed after 100 meters!", then in article we find out he brought his Lambo to an old logging road.
