They explain it well
Earth and Moon both follow circular orbits around the sun
The moon is not traditionally orbiting the earth like the space station does

Base on moon would not be orbiting the earth because the moon does not orbit the earth.
It is a valid distinction
Remove the sun and the moon and earth will no longer be together. Either the moon is leaving or crashing into the earth.
Remove the sun and the ISS is still going to orbit the earth.
If we were driving cars around a race track and kept pass each other on the left, you’d say one of us was “orbiting” the other?
