I think it's because he's trying to simulate every single thing.
Usually games have to trade off between expansiveness and detail. He's trying to make a cosmically expansive game with the level of detail you'd expect in a small handcrafted world.
Also, as far as I can tell, he wants people to be able to role play almost anything in that universe, which means the game design has almost zero focus. It's gonna be as bland as second life but without any of the batshit insane creativity of the nutters who used to play that.
