A lot can be legal if you agree to it. But they absolutely can't unilaterally declare this rule into effect.

Just don't pay, what are they gonna do? Sue you for damages that they admit themselves can't prove?

Ehhhhhh.

Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it's extremely expensive in upkeep.

The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is "working on it", but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.

Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can't possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.
