Speculation:
SpaceX has considerably better data than what they disclose, and offer free of charge.
The USSF enjoys full access to that better data, for $[TOP_SECRET]/month.

Well we already know Starshield (the military version) has specialist space domain awareness capabilities that aren't being shared, and it's entirely plausible that data from regular Starlink sensors/receivers (other than the disclosed star trackers) can be fused into something useful by SpaceX and/or the Space Force.
