A latency of a few seconds for streaming video compared to several months for a still photo from the Shuttle seems an entirely valid use of 'live'.

The difference here is a matter of AV technology improvements in the last 40 years.
The difference is having high-bandwidth signal pointed up / away from the wall of plasma.
And having such a large craft that a hole in the plasma envelope exists above the craft that can reach Starlink.
