Super Resolution is only part of the process. It says they then apply "Scene Optimizer’s deep-learning-based AI detail enhancement engine".
If the model and its weights contain detail not in the photo being taken, then it's tantamount to having high res images of the moon stored on camera and composited into the image. And if it doesn't then it's not the moon being displayed.
Not that it's necessarily bad, but it could be if it fools someone into thinking they're buying superior electro/optics. Enough such that it warranted the line "Samsung continues to improve Scene Optimizer to reduce any potential confusion that may occur between the act of taking a picture of the real moon and an image of the moon".
I think it's actually worse than compositing in a high-resolution moon image. With AI enhancement, the details will look believable but may be completely inaccurate.

This is what is happening. I agree it’s tricking people into thinking it’s all optics and that’s kinda bad.
