but every animal that lives in the amazon shits in it? whats so bad about human shit. its just acid washed organic matter.

what point are you making? if you acknowledge its only a matter of taste, then who cares about navajo tastes? especially when the taste is wrong. the moon isn't sacred.

The parent asked why they cared, I'm not making an argument I'm answering the question.

My answer is that it's distasteful to them and their belief system / worldview. I happen to share the same distaste, though not on any religious grounds.

Who cares about Navajo tastes? Presumably other people who agree with them and would support a ban on vanity projects on the moon or who find it distasteful, like myself.
