I feel like with the storage space and bandwidth needed for something like that that anyone with the money to start a true competitor would probably just be another mammoth tech company we all hate just as much :(

This is incorrect unless you're providing a source. I follow several space nerd sites and they do dedicated launches. Here's an article even showing the payload setup - which fills the cargo bay. https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/02/20/next-spacex-launch-to-deploy-fewer-starlink-satellites-into-higher-orbit/

Here's a source that debunks that claim. This has a picture of the cargo bay for a starlink flight - she full, and full only of their satellites. https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/02/20/next-spacex-launch-to-deploy-fewer-starlink-satellites-into-higher-orbit/
