Not worried enough about corporate over-development of orbit yet? New article: companies have now filed asking for a total of ONE MILLION satellites: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adi4639
Non-paywalled version here: https://www.outerspaceinstitute.ca/docs/One%20million%20(paper)%20satellites%20-%20Accepted%20Version%20.pdf
There is no way we can have anywhere near one million satellites in orbit without going into full Kessler Syndrome and destroying everything in orbit - making satellite science, communication, and interplanetary exploration impossible for decades.
We'd be fine on the interplanetary exploration - higher chance of launch fails, but after the few minutes in the danger zone the probe should be free of danger from Kessler syndrome shenanigans. But yes, anything that depends on an extended presence in orbit - especially LEO - would be messed up for a long time.
