If an Indian engineer spotted wreckage from the Indian moon lander in October, why did it take NASA a month to take a closer look? If the Indian space agency already knew where it was, why didn't it tell anyone?https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/science/india-moon-mission-vikram-found.html …

Cool. not sure if anyone asked them for details and if they declined.
We asked. Others asked. Contrast that with NASA, which throws all of the LRO images onto the web without anyone asking.

To be fair, there is often a proprietary period where the scientists who built the instrument get to take a first crack at the data. But there's no reason that ISRO couldn't have released an image of the landing site or shared the coordinates.

NASA also has its own share of inadequate data sharing am sure. It's government agency, they do as they think right. They report to the PM so maybe best taken up with PMO.
