It's a reasonable conclusion that Earth has the most competitive market and cheapest prices in the solar system and that there is not anything which is worth taking back to Earth.

Artemis is not motivated by the profit motive but by scientific value, mogging other countries, and other non-material values. And yeah, it transfers money from the taxpayer to many private organizations that can in turn kick back some to politicians to keep the money going. Something like that.

The moon landing is a much more difficult mission than just circling around the moon and I'd argue that we don't have a realistic plan for the landing right now.
