If all you need is power and fiber, and you have to maintain the site indefinitely, it makes sense to go as cheap as possible I guess.

I imagine there are also some minor security benefits from being way out in the middle of nowhere.

I'm super glad for starlink in general as it allows me personally to just need power and water (and a clear view of the sky) and opens up a bunch of extremely cheap land options for viable places to build a house.
