These have the advantage that they can hover in an actively controlled vertical attitude, as demonstated in at least one Starship test flight, until there is no more horizontal motion. Not much, or rather nothing, has been published on the internet yet regarding the landing legs of these vehicles. But I can imagine that they have the capability to extend differently in order to cater for uneven or sloping ground.
