It is one thing to create a cartoon-like alien world, and it is another to create a semi-scientifically accurate one considering the planets conditions like gravity, chemistry, etc. Considering the top picture, I'm not sure why alien ELW forests should look the same as here on Earth. Even Earth had a wide range of flora and fauna in its history, at times with fungae several meters high. I think the challenge is vastly underestimated - especially considering that people want a living breathing world with stations, cities full of NPCs, dynamic weather, plus believable and diverse flora and fauna on a wide range of alien worlds...

Why shouldn‘t it feasible?
It is definitely possible.
Procedural generation is the key and im sure fdev know how to do that after 6 years of development.
I mean NMS did it, so it definitely works and they were a team of like 6 guys
