First of all, thank you in advance! My question is: How comes that almost all Starlink satellites orbits are “distributed” almost evenly all around the globe but some others are literally queued one after another in super long lines? Is that some kind of “reinforcement” for intensive internet rush hours?

A low-earth-orbit Starlink satellite can cover about a 150km radius of ground. A low earth orbit takes about ninety minutes. They come one after the other in the same orbit path (in whatever orbit display you must be seeing) so that one is rising in the sky as the other sets.
