Answer 1

A, the moon and earth BOTH attract, so while the earth pulls them in faster, the moon redirects and acts as a shield to a larger proportion than its size would indicated.

B. and the big reason, weathering. we get plenty of impacts, but we have an atmosphere and weathering that wear the craters down.
