Exactly!

It does look like there's a "PR filter" in the video stream and it kicks in when the landing looks iff-ish.

This makes perfect sense too if you think about it. If they were to crash yesterday and there were a video cap to go with it, it would've been all over news in no time. But with no visuals the news like this are far less likely to be reported, leave alone to go viral.

Let me see if I understand - you think SpaceX will refuse to release footage of failed landings?

No, you don't understand.

It's not about withholding the footage, it's about releasing it in a controlled fashion.
