Yeah 100 big satellites would be a lot cleaner than 10,000 small ones

Kind of cluttery don't ya think?

Problem there is 100 big satellites would have to be at much higher altitudes for global visibility, and that introduces significant latency. Further, at higher altitudes, there's no natural meaningful decay of the orbits in the event of satellite failure.
