Seems like there is 0 harm to have a 5 minute delay on the whole broadcast in exchange for a more polished production. Me, the viewer, will never know. I know SpaceX is doing it, its trendy to 'watch us make history in realtime', but SpaceX has a couple orders of magnitude more cash to work with.
I was more disappointed that the shot went out of focus as the plane crossed the barrier. I did find it rather amusing that as soon as they started lauding starlink, the feed dropped, which is what you are talking about I think
