According to https://skyvector.com/airport/1S1/Eckhart-International-Airport - Eckhart "Airport" is only open to private chartered flights, and it has a grass (turf) runway, unattended, closed in winter. It's certainly not what an ordinary person would consider an "airport". It doesn't have an IATA code, so that's a good hint that it doesn't have any commercial airline service.
A general map users is not going to be interested in searching for a place like Eckhart, unless they are the sort of person who charters corporate jet flights, or a pilot, and there are specialized databases for such purposes. So "international_flights=no", "commercial_flights=no" is appropriate for aerodromes like this.
