This is a large part of why they're pushing so hard on Starship. Falcon 9 is great and wildly economical, but it's not enough to make Starlink profitable in the long term. They need Starship to make that happen.

They also want to make Starlink satellites bigger, which also requires Starship's much larger diameter.
