I personally like the way they use a Delta 2 as an example of "switching from cameras to CGI" when ULA isn't known for employing cameras for public streaming on their rockets (sometimes on the first stages, but not all the time) while some other companies, like SpaceX and Rocketlabs, have public streams right including their second stages and orbital injections.
My only assumption is that those videos "look too real", so if they used them as an example people wouldn't be able to tell when the CGI was taking over, so they needed to use an example which switches to an obvious computer graphic.
