The thing about letting things burn up in the atmosphere is that they're still *there* -- just in gas form instead of solid. So like sure it doesn't hit you on the head (good!) but it might mess with the chemistry of the atmosphere (real bad!) and/or become stuff that you breathe (not great either!)
“The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more.”
