They do a similar thing for their launch webcasts - they barely show or talk about the rocket and focus mostly on the pan-European cooperation aspects. It might be a cultural thing but they also know who is paying their bills.

Always. Show. The. Rocket.

On the other hand, I was at CERN once, and they were just giving us slides like no tomorrow (and of course also a tour). If I was a billionaire (or a politician) I would have given them lots of money

The cern tour is really cool. They actually take you to see the instruments where possible. Got to see some huuuge copper busbars that they use to dump current from the electromagnets. And got to see some sections of the main tube that were in the repair area (maybe they were display units).
