This is literally how it has been since the start of the space age. For people outside of the US or Russia, not having any say in what happens in space is normal. The only difference here is that Americans are surprised when they themselves have to go through the same thing, but even then the American government has full control of starlink for all intents and purposes.

It's always funny to me when I see this "7.8 billion people didn't choose a private corporation", as if they chose the american government lol.
