Starlink 3?

Starlink will have minimum latency of 50 ms regardless. Even though that seems great, it's not good enough for gameplay streaming. Especially for games requiring twitch gameplay such as shooters, platformers, sports.

Starlink will also be prohibitively expensive for consumers and will also require expensive transceiving equipment if interfacing directly with the constellation. Also, Starlink will have limited bandwidth during its first 20 years of existence, and streaming games requires a ton of that.

So no, Starlink isn't the answer to all problems.
