Once China launches it's own 13000 satellite in the coming year then we will start hearing about Kessler syndrome.

First, I assume SpaceX Falcon 9 is the only large resuable rocket in the world. Without reusable rockets, how could any massive array of satellites be economical? (If for military, ignore this post.) Look at all the other big satellite arrays owned by private industry. The return on investment is awful.
Why? Are they going to use higher orbits?
