I would love to hear a reason why this is a good idea?

Space is very big and satellites are very small.
These satellites are in a rather thin band of space and it's clearly a problem as debris has already hit the space station and satellites. Tracking satellites is clearly a necessity. Could we use some partners? Probably worth look into with the ESA and Japan/India to share cost, burden, and information. Not doing it because of a trite expression doesn't seem like a good idea.
Space is not actually very big when you’re talking about a thin slice above the earth.
Is this a serious comment?
