My reasoning was that there was more available raw matter to be collected into the stars accretion discs with the birth of older stars. With newer stars being born, any excess matter would be likely poached by other nearby embryonic stars.
I didn't even consider the distribution of the elements needed for planet formation though; maybe the age of the star gives an approximation towards the type of planet it may have; older stars having gas giants? I don't know; interesting though
An interesting
