The 2.5s round trip communication latency isn't going to be great for chat. (Alongside all the other reasons.)

And 2.5s is best case. Signal strength issues, antenna alignment issues, and all sorts of unknown unknowns conspire to make high-integrity/high-throughput digital signal transmissions from a moon-based compute system have a latency much worse than that on average.
