"Chazelle himself also released a statement, insisting the omitting of the planting of the U.S. flag had nothing to do with politics."

That is the passive-aggressive part.

Now we all realize that the story is about Neil Armstrong and what he and his family went through. But planting the American Flag on the moon is a significant part of that story. It is like showing a picture of Paris with the Arc de Tromp or the Eiffel Tower edited out of it.
