The lack of atmosphere also means a risk of micrometeoroid strike on the surface & makes thermal control harder.

But for some industries this could be a benefit & even if the lunar dust is abrasive, at least it won't move itself that much without wind (though there could apparently be some electrostatic effects in play sometimes).

Also can't do aerobraking/aerocapture, but there is Earth next door for that.
