Wouldn't this still leak metadata for routing?

Depending on the spot beam size, the only thing you'd always learn is the ground station's rough geographic location.
Anything else could be masked by metadata encryption, rotating lower layer identifiers, and cover traffic. Not sure if any actual protocols do that though.
It would not be perfect, but it wouldn't be purposefully shooting oneself in the foot.
