I would never have thought of this, but it is really cool. Living in the city with light pollution, we can see a dozen or so on the best nights.
What an ingenious business idea.

we'll have to switch to space telescopes above LEO

You misunderstand the issue.
Satellites don’t include light sources and there’s nothing to illuminate them when in earth’s shadow.

I'm thinking of "space roombas" that glide around and bump all the sats in LEO into the atmosphere like a game of pool
Only problem is they are toxic as they burn up and create a lot of pollution
