Doesn’t help that the game itself unintentionally worsens this issue.
Xeno-Compatibility is a cool af feature on paper, but using it, or having open borders with an empire using it, makes playing with bio-ascention a nightmare since you get an absurd amount of species you all have to modify individually while only being able to do so one at a time.
But the one mechanical reason to pick it is its a buff to bio-ascention.
And if you ever want to play lategame stellaris, the number of pops of the AI become the real enemy with how the game calculates them all individually.
With the upcoming complete rework of pops and genetic ascention this will change for the better though. Anti-lag genocide won’t be a thing anymore and I hope they cook with the gene thing aswell.

Oh shit don’t even remind me, srsl reading forums and reddit it was even bigger reason for genocide than gamers being gamers.
