That's less of a "FH can't be human-rated" and more of a "there's not point in human-rating FH right now".

FH is heavily derived from the human-rated F9, but what capsule would fly on FH? Crew Dragon flies fine on F9, and NASA isn't looking to fly Orion on FH. If the latter part changed I'm sure SpaceX would undertake the human rating.

F9 can't fly crew dragon into a lunar orbit though, can it? I thought you need a FH class booster for that.

You could launch a separate kicker on a different F9, but that may be my KSP/BARIS talking.
