Yes because things like European weathers satellites serve the public interesting and vital infrastructure needs (GPS, for example). Those have higher priority over a private corporation's satellites.

Did you read my first comment? I said that of course SpaceX would have a lower collision tolerance because there satellite is much cheaper/less investment of resources compared to the EU satellite.

Even if SpaceX's satellite was also expensive and SpaceX still had good data, we should prioritize the needs of public institutions that are launching satellites that serve the world over private corporations.
