NASA human rating requirements don’t apply to a private flight. There aren’t as yet any specific regulations governing private crewed space flights.

Ah, TIL. But still, even private company (or their high paying customers) wouldn't want to take the risk. And using proven design for humans might be easier than to solve all safety issues with the whole Starship. Also, they still have to solve non-starlink cargo deployment too I think?
