I didn't mean to imply orbit debris isn't a real problem. But for the low end of LEO:

- Most debris deorbits naturally in a few years. Any debris causing events or accumulation naturally clears out in a reasonable time frame. It's not like debris at 800-2000km which is the real "Kessler Syndrome" concern where it takes decades or centuries.

- Debris mitigation efforts that are already in place are effective. Limiting debris release during launch and deployments has had a huge positive impact over the last few decades.

- "Traffic control" is a lot easier at these altitudes and debris in this range is well tracked. Obviously this doesn't extend to small stuff (<5cm), but due to active mitigation and natural decay this is less of an issue. Also ground radars are getting better and can actually see a lot of these objects now.
