Good point. Still, the whole thing is super fucking shady though. You mean to tell me not one of those wet work seal goons didn't pose for a selfie with the body? Also you'd think the most notoriously wanted man of the 21st century wouldn't have been blasted all over the airwaves, even a censored photo?
That happened with Saddam and it's generally seen as a bad thing by pretty much everyone who isn't a deranged psycho who enjoys watching death. So I can absolutely imagine that they went to great lengths to avoid a repeat in this case.
Plus, the raid exposed the existence of a then-unknown stealthy Blackhawk helicopter. Explain the logic behind that trade-off, if the killing of OBL was faked in some way.

Has anything changed much with the world knowing about the helicopter now?

Not that we'd notice. But why expose that if the raid wasn't real? Just fake-crash a regular one instead.
You're right but boy do I want to believe it was hoaxed lol
