Hopefully they can come up with some sort of 'vanta black' coating for the sats that reduces this issue. I agree with there needing to be a tax on bright, private sats in orbit. Space is getting more democratized, but not nearly so much so that an international body wouldn't be able to slap fines on companies putting 'disco balls' in orbit.
Another thing is that our skies will probably get brighter overall when we resort to stratospheric sulfide injection to try to reduce the effects of global warming. Anyone that doubts this will happen needs to come to grips with the fact that this is our cheapest most readily available means of reducing temps until we can get our emissions under control. We're going to need to fund a lot more space based telescopes to preserve our ability to do science.
