Point is that stars are to be seen with an ordinary camera even with the
full moon.
In the daylight there are no stars as the atmosphere scatters the
sunlight.
So there are no stars to be seen.
If you go up in space in daytime you will see the stars.

The direct rays are stronger no doubt but that does not affect the
starlight. The stars are as bright as they are in space around Earth
with the Sun on.

Mostly absorbed, but yes there is reflection too. But as there is no
atmosphere there is no scattering of light, both from transmission and
ground reflection, so the stars should have been seen in the photos.

This point is hardly original. All moon landing deniers have said this
for decades.

True, and there is lots of starlight as well.

No it is a point source with parallel rays. Light does get reflected to
outer space but as there is no scattering of light the situation is as
on near space in Earth, with sun on and lotsa stars.
