There would be many other core unsolved technical challenges if they had gone with a traditional system like the SLS. For example:
- Standing it upright
- Fueling it
- Launching
- Building it
End of the day, Starship is a new and not-fully-proven design, but (parts of it) _have_ launched, and NASA knows that SpaceX is committed to the vision either way. Much better than a contractor design which exists only on paper and only to win a bid.
