The Enterprise could retrieve Spock if it left hiding to get close enough for transport, but Spock advises Kirk to leave him to his fate, so the native culture will not see a starship, and the Prime Directive will be observed. Kirk chooses to rescue Spock, flying the Enterprise directly over the native population, resulting in a change in their culture.
