Because internet is a major resource for the population. Its like water or electricity.

Most of those could be easily targeted and taken out by a large organized group but people are generally good and dont do that. If a country's military attacked though you wouldn't blame the water company for someone cutting the locks and destroying the water pumps. Or blowing up an electric facility.

Its not like this is just some random companies headquarters where they have some vehicles and someone broke the gates to spray paint the trucks.

This is an attack on the people of the country as a whole. The attackers are not vandalizing the internet because they dislike starlink they are attacking its people by destroying infrastructure. there is a major difference between the two.
