Except Starlink already has direct to cell technology, with satellites already in orbit, and limited coverage already available.
I don’t know if they’re using 5g, but this tech is available to the public already.
The article states that Starlink requires special equipment to access the satellites, and that’s just not true.
More competition is good IMO. Ideally, we’ll end up with a cross-company agreement to share satellites so each can compete on overall service instead of infrastructure, kind of like municipal wifi.

Accurate.

At the moment, what is happening is that people sign up to an existing provider, who then bundles in access as part of the plan.
