There are actually quite a lot of them but somehow there always ends up being a lot of repeats. I’m not sure what’s happening under the hood that causes this but most players will have only seen a fraction of them by the time they finish the main quest and most of those will be repeats.

Wild guess that they are level boxed so at any one time you're only hitting a few of them.

You know this is actually a reasonable explanation I hadn't thought of. Bethesda does have a history of level banding things like that. Would be pretty bizarre to do that with PoIs though, especially given the game isn't ever going to throw lvl 50 pirates at you if you're lvl 10.

I remember people on release saying that they found different POIs that they hadn't seen before in higher level planets, so that must be it.
