Moon landing deniers say it looks like it was put together using tin foil, construction paper, and duct tape.

Moon landing believers say the same thing. I might request something a bit more sturdy with all of the space junk floating around today.

There’s still very little space junk in the vicinity of the moon. Earth orbit is a different story, but the lander was in its interstage housing then. This thing had to both land and take off from the moon, which is a significant feat for something so small. So yes it had to be as light as possible.

If you saw the aluminum hull undeneath the kapton MLI, you'd find your request fulfilled.
