It a lot harder of low end opponents to strike a satelite, even more so if its many.

Space datacentres are a boondoggle.

Heard of Kessler syndrome? You'll only need to blow up one or two (or just put up a shrapnel bomb nearby) to deny LEO to everyone and take out all the current satellites. Shit, it's already close to that point with the current satellite population (looking at you starlink). Dealing with the result will be a long and painful process with which we have little know-how and less experience.
