It's highly reasonable for them to limit image size/quality to whatever looks fine to 98% of their readers. They store and serve an absolute ton of ever-changing content to browsers/apps; The very small (and likely revenue-negative) contingent of highly motivated people can find the originals if the images are especially noteworthy like these.

If the content loads fast, more views are given and more data is collected.

NASA has a lot to be proud of. but not Artemis. And not their Artemis website.
