The problem is still rocket launches are expensive and complicated. But if maybe we can get orbital tethers working then we may be okay.

I don’t think this is true anymore. The cost of a rideshare with SpaceX is super accessible. Companies can launch for <$1 million. This has been huge for a lot of companies trying to launch a proof of concept or one-off, and even for some operational constellations.
