Everything in low earth orbit (LEO) decays and falls back to earth due to drag; as there is a very, very small amount of air there. The starlink satellites are all in LEO.
Space junk is mostly a problem higher up. In the higher orbits, old satellites move themselves to graveyard orbits; places where nobody really wants a satellite.

you know it’s difficult who to trust, the man who caused several deaths after he had the warning stripes removed due to his dislike of yellow, or NASA
