Sure, it makes sense that Hydaelyn would want someone making sure that Zodiark didn't break out, but the moon always seemed like a place that the Ascians went to when not causing chaos on the planet itself. It definitely would have been cool to meet a group of lesser Ascians who are hanging out on the moon as they have no idea what to do now or perhaps a different group of Zodiark worshipers there that somehow have regained a portion of their memories of the world pre-sundering. But we got stuck with the stupid annoying rabbits instead.
Wow, this sounds significantly better than what we got to me. Would have neatly tied the fate of the lesser/sundered ascians.
And it would have acknowledged their repeated presence on the moon.

It could easily replace most part of the loporrits segment as the part that allows up to lower the pressure after dealing with Zodiark.
It would still have been thematically linked to the rest of the overarching plot, compared to visiting the loporrits facilities that won't serve any purpose during the expansion (and probably after honestly).

Kind of mad we didn't get that now lol, such a missed opportunities to delve in the thought process of the ascians who no longer have a purpose.
