Thats a meaningless distintion, the moon orbits the earth with an elliptical orbit in the Earth’s frame of reference, or an eliptical orbit with fairly large, low frequency oscillations in the Sun’s frame of reference. The same is true for something in LEO except the oscilations are smaller and shorter period.
Base on moon would not be orbiting the earth because the moon does not orbit the earth.
Wut? The moon definitely does orbit the earth, that’s like its defining feature. Am I whooshing?
We’ve been getting mooned this whole time?!

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

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?
I’m not sure where you got that from, the moon absolutely is gravitationally bound to the earth, so much so that it has become tidally locked.

Is this the new conspiracy theory to replace flat earth? Go, spread your narrative wings!
