Nature does optimize for life because by definition the result of any optimization is life. Natural selection is a powerful force. And with time, nature optimizes for chemical reactions that self replicate without the biases and weaknesses of human science. We aren't patient enough to wait as long as nature is willing to and we are biased because we keep trying to replicate life like ours. Nature also had panspermia and other techniques to spread life around once it gets going, it only needs to figure it out like once per galaxy under some sets of assumptions
