[Silmarillion] Why does it seem like so much of Eru’s plan and the Maiar & Valar’s time was spent on a single fragile world rather than working on life for multiple planets?

The Ainur (the ones that actually shaped the world) were not omniscient or omnipotent beings capable of creating trillions of planets all at once. They put most of their power into shaping just the one world. And when they shaped that one world they were bound to it until the end.
