So they have to look at their usage patterns per tower to see how much they can devote to an always-connected device. On a tower near an interstate or a popular recreation location, they may only be able to spare a handful of slots. Towers serving mostly corn fields could have dozens.
Its nice to have another option on the market but right now my neighbor can't sign up for the same service I have because the slots are gone....
Its like comparing a house to a skyscraper.
In some towns, a single cell tower has enough coverage and bandwidth to cover all the cellular devices in the entire town of 20,000 people, simultaneously.

That said; I'm not sure that there's any burning need to jump on a Pre-Order list. The cost of equipment, taxes and service fees will price a fair number of people out. We're still in the blue sky phase of this enterprise, and Elon tends to talk a lot of shite. I'd like to see how real Starlink continues to be once it gets past Beta.
And finally - no. The Starlink business model is not designed to roll out to every Shekgalagari village in Botswana. While it would be nice to ensure that every amenity is available globally for a tiny fraction of what it costs to provide, that's a "somebody else's money" solution.
