No marketing needed - SpaceX is a decade ahead of all other Earth agencies.
Yes it's very hard to get a soft landing on Mars, and props to any agency that can do it. We expect great things from Tianwen-1. But it's many times harder to develop a complete process to soft land 100mt there, 100 times a year.
This is the same engineering process that spanked ULA, who with a century of experience and head start, has yet to complete its commercial crew rating, plus they are single shot, not reusable.
