Two different machines attempting to solve two different problems. Yes Artemis and Orion overlap part of starship goals, but they neither have rapid turn around and reusability, nor adaptability as requirements. They are, put human on moon machines, not tanker, pickup truck, delivery vehicle, Martian launch vehicle, etc.

purpose has nothing do with whether or not a rocket can fly without a RUD. As for adaptability, rapid turn around and reusability, apparently the engineers working on Starship aren't the same ones that built Falcon 9, or else they forget everything they learned from that booster.
