Recent advances in satellite technology have fueled an exponential increase in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, which provide low-latency, high-speed connectivity. As the field continues to rapidly grow,

This is all by design. When satellites or other orbiting spacecraft have outlived their purpose or completed their missions, deorbiting them is a way to declutter the crowded band of sky known as low Earth orbit. And, to limit damage to humans and their infrastructure, it makes some sense to aim for the spot farthest from any of that stuff.
