I'd consider paying that much for 10gpbs, but nothing less.

That's nice for you.

We got starlink for our rural property. We were previously paying over $200 a month for vastly inferior service (long range Wi-Fi), much slower and dropped out all the time.

If you can get a wired connection, get it. Starlink is for people who can't, and it's far and away the best option for those people.

If you have better/cheaper options, by all means take them. Many people do not so it's pay that or do without.
Some people, but I very much doubt most.
I wrote "many." And, yes, many people do not have good wired Internet access and paying a relatively small premium to get the equivalent of wired broadband access at all is worth it for a great many of those people. No one is asking you to pay if you have better options.
