That's only from orbit. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, so Earth remains in roughly the same spot in the sky.

It has a wobble. Near the limb or poles you would see an earthrise. This is shown in the beginning of the second season of For All Mankind btw.

Kim Stanly Robinson also hits on this in Red Moon. Someone is emotionally invested in having a particular plot of moon where the earth peeks out through a gap in a crater wall during the wobble.
