There was also video written to on-board storage that has yet to be extracted yet, isn't there? If not, why?

Due to rough seas the rocket stage sank before they were able to recover it.

That article is about the previous landing.

The recent vertical landing should have been much closer to shore and was planned to have a much better chance of recovery.
