Are all landable planets without plants nor life?
I have been exploring for 2-3 months so far and all the planets I was able to land on them have no life, no vegetation, just deserts.

Is it the case for ALL landable planets in Elite Dangerious Odyssey?

That makes it a bit boring to always be the case.

Vegetation and animal life requires a full blown atmosphere to be on a planet. And we can't land on those.

For example some planets are categorized as able to be terraformed. Well has any completed there terraforming process so we can walk there and see what came out of it (vegation, life, ...) ?
We don't even need to wait for those to be terraformed. There are already planets with full atmospheres in the game. Say, the Earth is already there.

But those planets are off limits for landing. FDevs have to develop the whole atmospheric gameplay first. And that's a lot of work, even that they probably can reuse some of their work on their Zoo Tycoon game.

I think you know there is no life , there is no thick atmosphere worlds where you can walk around with no helmet

There is some life on almost every planet - people scan it and sell the data to Vista Genomics.

But don't expect grass and trees. Currently landable planets don't have strong enough atmosphere to support it.

no, it's just dusty, barren planets you can land on. I doubt the devs could make it work optimisation wise, considering their history with the odessy dlc

A terraformed planet is going to have a full atmosphere, so no, you can't walk there.
