> Debris don't really accumulate dangerously in this zone and collision avoidance is a well-studied problem with a lot of people doing great work.
I think this line of thinking is dangerously incorrect. Sure it’s not a problem right now but we’re poised to have a lot more stuff in orbit than we’ve ever had before. Plastic waste didn’t initially “accumulate dangerously” either but once it became more widely used (and did accumulate dangerously) it was much more difficult to try to reign it back.
