The main problem is that space telescopes in Low Earth Orbit share the similar orbits as the telecommunication satellites.
Here we show a simplified representation of the increased orbital crowding between 1958 (Sputnik) and the projected satellite population at the end of the next decade.

Humankind has launch more satellites in the past four years (2021 - 2025) than in the previous seven decades.
75% of the currently active satellites belong to a single operator (SpaceX).
