Frank Herbert was pretty explicit about borrowing a common trope from early pulps, a single-biome planet, even though he brought an exceptional level of detail to Arrakis because he was actually interested in ecology.

I mean, the spice literally extends life so it’s not a stretch to say the source material would lend itself to young looking cast. No excuses needed.
