It's the moon, even a hard landing isn't that hard.
It's not exactly nothing, the moon itself with its mountains is there and blocking the radio signal and it means propagation isn't unlike that of VHF/UHF on Earth. You still only have no visibility beyond the horizon. In order for it to be visible and useful during landing you would need the base station to be reasonably close. I guess that would make it more akin to ILS/VOR/DME than GPS. That obviously wouldn't be feasible until we have a permanent base there (perhaps an unmanned one).
But “who should fund this?” is a separate question from “would this help?”.
I don’t think it would really help that much, and that is the reason why the private companies are not doing it.
IM didn't win the contact because of their landers per se, but obviously as a company they have a vested interest in this kind of lunar infrastructure. Being able to build it with a bunch of public money is a huge win for them
