I think the military implications of Starlink/Starshield are actually the most revolutionary. The "unjammability", low latency, high throughput and the sheer amount of them (which makes it very difficult to destroy them) makes a lot of unmanned military platforms very viable. Another aspect is that it might be accessible to smaller countries which can't afford their own military satellites.
