Prime Mark isn't even a Planet buster (at least, not by himself). Early Vegeta is a planet buster. Even if we give Mark the benefit of the doubt and say he could possibly be planetary at the very very end, he'd be nowhere near Goku and Vegeta where they are currently in the Manga.
But that's been a flawed comparison since the beginning. First off, not all planets are made equal. Viltrumites can literally do insane travel, and they're destroying planets without relying on energy blasts. They're punching through a planet so hard that it explodes. Non-prime Nolan himself subdued an entire planet's surface without that much issue nor even a significant bit of his lifespan. This alone suggests it so that if by any chance they can tank or dodge a strong ki blast, they'll literally just run through Saiyans, who are vulnerable to bullets.
Like they can punch through planets, so how the fuck is a Saiyan tanking a single punch? It's just over the moment Viltrumites catch up to them. CQC is out of the question, and a straight blast isn't really the hardest thing to dodge.
For another thing, an energy blast to a planet has the advantage of interacting with a planet's core. Basically we can't even know for sure if Vegeta did all the work. All he had to do with reach the planet's core, so there are a multitude of ways where their skill set is specifically designed to be good at exploding planets. Comparatively, Viltrumites need to exert much more force to destroy a planet, but on a 1v1, they may be significantly superior
