Also, "largest commercial space contract awarded" is a bit of a hair splitting thing. If Starlink and SpaceX were separate entities, that contract would dwarf this.

True, but I'm not sure that the contract would have taken place (or been as large) if Starlink and SpaceX were not vertically integrated. A big advantage for Starlink is that they can launch "at cost".
