Why ?

Because it's already unrealistic that it's there at all. Microbial life, okay, plants? Nope.
"Grounded in reality and science" means they should at least reduce the growth to a few spots on those planets.
The planets we can currently land on are supposed to be a bit like Mars with even thinner atmosphere.

I mean it's in the Lore that life was abundant when we first ventured out into the galaxy. I've always been a little disappointed that there's been so little.

Although it does seem to be everywhere in the alpha!

Where is that in the lore?
There was life found on earth like planets where life was possible and all. It didn't say that there was life on any planet with some atmosphere. That's a bit too much. We also wouldn't need to take any samples if it's literally everywhere...

Species

The Milky Way galaxy contains countless organic and artificial species. While life in general is plentiful, sapient life is rare.[1] Only 4 sapient species are currently identified: Humans, Thargoids and the extinct Guardians with their Constructs. The existence of 2 unknown sapient species are...

It makes sense where there's one lifeform on a planet there will be many lifeforms.

Evolutionary biology tells us this is nonsense. Life restricted to a few spots on a planet is probably not going to survive very long due to local changes in climate, natural disasters like volcanoes, basically any localised phenomena could wipe out such life forms. For life to survive it needs to adapt to local conditions and spread out, if life exists it will be endemic, not localised.

It is better to think of life as a property of a planet, as far as we know. Biospheres are probably the unit, not organisms or a few small groves scattered on opposite sides of a planet. Obviously these life forms we are seeing are able to survive in what would be, for us, totally inhospitable conditions. Clearly there must be some source of free energy on these planets, and materials suitable to dissipate that free energy. The life forms that we see may be inappropriate for the conditions seen on these planets (we don't know!). But the argument that flora, if it exists, should be confined to a few tiny places just doesn't ring true.

WOW that is a pretty sight, what planet is that? I've been looking for a kind of red/brownish sky but have only really found light purples
