Also, size! The sheer volume of starship would make say, James Webb telescope a lot less complex with a 175x30ft size ship to deploy it.

Only if SpaceX can work out how to get it out of Starship. It is not as trivial as it sounds, and so far they have shown no inclination to work on the problem.

They could if they wanted to but for now it seems optimized to poop out little bom... sorry I mean little Starlinks.

True, but it seems like the Shuttle proved feasibility.
