Most satellites are deorbited in a planned fashion and thus generate very little if any space debris. If the orbit is low enough, the orbit will decay by themselves by aerodynamic braking after a few years.
Compared to that, anti-satellite missile bust a satellite into pieces and carry indeed the danger of creating a Kessler syndrome. In case these would be used on a large scale, WW III would be imminent anyways. Apart from that, missiles are too expensive to knock out Starlink satellites, and the latter are comparatively easy to replace.
