Everything would benefit not being exposed to moon dust, especially humans.

The moon dust is extremely sticky, abrasive, chemically reactive and terrible for the health.

And it's not like we can just hose down the rover or the spacesuit to remove the dust. I think dealing with the moon dust can be one of the major hurdle of setting up a moonbase.
