Cos non-canon numbers of that kind of size make it not 40k. If millenia year old relics lay around the place everywhere, than it would take the rarity out of them. Likewise, if ships lay around everywhere, no one would care about them. Having smaller numbers means you care for each ship, with each being valuable instead of being just a resource
