Agreed. I don't know how much of that is not wanting to get into seeding and terraforming and what not.
The setting you describe does lend itself to some options (of course, I'm now looking at it from a Traveller lens), though rather than vanishingly rare I'd go with just rare, so that prospecting starships could look for the mother load of non-eroded worlds they could claim and sell to terraformers at huge profits.
