(The only gadget featured in TSWLM was the Lotus Esprit, while Moonraker was the only film in which 007 didn’t use a firearm)
And both included Jaws 😁
TSWLM was the peak of the Moore films in that it was both a box office success and critically acclaimed; Broccoli probably reasoned that

Both Bond Girls (Agent XXX/Dr. Goodhead) were initially hostile towards him, but eventually warmed up

They all follow a formula but only Moonraker specifically copied the plot devices of its predecessor
Both had a villain (Karl Stromberg/Hugo Drax) that was a wealthy messianic figure
Both wanted to create a utopia (Stromberg underwater, Drax in outer space)

“Moonraker is bizarre because like it's 80% standard Bond Formula and then the radically shoehorned space stuff.”
Because Moonraker is basically a redo of the previous Bond entry, 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me, with the space stuff thrown in for good measure to capitalize on the Star Wars craze
