This could be mostly about prioritizing starlink network buildout with more capable sats.
Starlink V2 & V3 are only Starship-compatible, so these launches were doing V1 and a mini version of V2. Compared to V2-mini, the V3 satellites have 10x bandwidth & 24x uplink. And I'd bet they utilize space in Starship's bay better too given they were designed in tandem.
Starship is going to own payload launches in the next decade.
👏👏👏
