Now, I don't know, but I would assume its the latency. Starlink has a (impressively) low ping of < 100ms, while existing alternatives usually have 600ms+. Now, that's only relevant if they are using it for stuff like flying drones.
I think you'd notice half a second even just browsing the Web.
Yes, but a wep page loading slow isn't critical. Controlling armed drones in a battle is.
