The biggest argument for the answer being “Yes” would seem to be their contributions to the Kessler Syndrome but I’m really not that up to speed on how severe or critical the situation currently is.

The short answer: no

The slightly longer answer: also no. Because orbits don't work that way and space is really really big

There are companies who have plans for cleaning up space debris by grabbing it in various ways, but it's not really feasible for more than super specific targets in very narrow edge cases

For most of the stuff currently in orbit, there's not much danger regarding Kessler syndrome, as their orbits decay in a couple years to maybe decades in extreme cases

The bigger problem with current satellite constellations is the big amount of metal spreading into the upper atmosphere when they burn up (not a problem when a couple satellites do it, but problematic when hundreds do), as well as disturbing ground based telescopes
