The Moon has the added challenge of regolith. It’s extremely abrasive, and behaves a lot like volcanic ash, which is essentially powdered glass. It gets into everything, sticks to everything because it’s charged, and damages everything.

Since there’s actual weathering Mars, the dust is likely to be significantly more manageable, and wont’ be a death sentence to inhale.
