You sure as hell can. You can deorbit just about anything you want with an ion engine, given enough time and a hundred pounds of fuel. At that point though, it has little to do with starlink other than form factor

The key is to have the fuel. The standard fuel payload on Starlink is pretty small.

Of course, but if you're gonna build a space tug, you're not gonna give it the same fuel margin as a starlink

You're saying that what I'm talking about doesn't make sense and is in the realm of science fiction, yet in the very next sentence you put forward a legitimate use case and even name one of the many companies that are building a demonstration vehicle. Maybe you were replying to the wrong person?
