The Apollo broadcast camera was limited to using the Apollo's radio transmitter as the signal, and hence was limited to a very low bandwidth. They had to go with 10fps @ 320x240, which had to be upscaled for TV broadcast with 30fps @ 525x394.
It seems the easiest and quickest way to do that at the time was to just broadcast off the live monitors.
Yes, and Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong lied about it for 50 years, and yet with the conspiracy of silence, NASA was still unable to get Buzz to stop talking about little green men.
