I agree with this. The satellites were a way to bankroll demand for their primary service: space flight. Sort of similar to how musk built super charger stations everywhere to make electric vehicles plausibly. Didn’t know we’r they were bankrupt- couldn’t imagine US mil letting that happen
Bankruptcy "story" could be Musk pacifying SpaceX engineers into accepting a fire sale of the Starlink business...to himself. Starlink has a backlog of orders well into 2022, not typical of a supposedly near bankruptcy company.
Starlink will IP next year. The threats that Elon made regarding the bankruptcy was to strirr up the company to be able to produce Raptor engines quicker so as to be able to have a Starship launch every 2 weeks.
