Nasa is different. As a wing of the US government many of their innovations were shared. From a public perspective, all the photos and such taken during Apollo were public domain. Earthrise, arguably the most well-known image on earth, went strait to public domain. (This might explain some of the lack of coverage given that all the media feeds were SpaceX-owned and it wasn't clear how they were to be shared.)

Engineers who worked at Apollo-era Nasa also went on to all sorts of things, carrying lots of knowhow with them. Even those working for contractors operated under a different regime than today. But the similar knowhow at SpaceX is today proprietary. We won't see any SpaceX engineers walking over to boeing to replicate the technology, not without lawsuits every which way.

I don't mean to criticize, just to illustrate that today's space-fairing corporations are not interchangeable with Nasa.
