I agree with you entirely. I think it's a fine game; it's not particularly deep, and the procedural generation has issues (no large scale planetary structures, like continents or oceans, mean that every place on a planet is like every other place; flying long distances doesn't do much). But I still find it thoroughly enjoyable. I like the process of just drifting round the landscape, looking at the scenery; it helps that I hooked up a joystick, which makes the ship way more fun to fly. Even 30-odd hours in I still find new bits and pieces of game mechanic, and scenery that makes me go 'wow' and take a screenshot. I do have a laundry list of stuff I'd like changed, of course. The top one on the list is to be able to mark waypoints on a planet's surface, so I can find my way back to places I've found before...
