Maybe so. I'm just fascinated by the convenient propaganda of the West. And I point it out to observe the reaction online. It's consistent across Reddit, Slashdot and here: US good, RoW bad.

There's only a few major space players. The US is bound to be well ahead in several ways and well behind in several other ways. The level of "convenience" here is like rolling a particular number on a 6 sided die. It would be weird if it didn't happen often.
