Does the fact that it doesn't spin have anything to do with that?

If it could spin would it be able to support an atmosphere?


Ah, but the moon does spin. The period of its rotation is equal to its
orbital period, that is why the same side of the moon faces us.

And the coincidence in there escapes you?

(At the risk of starting -or whatever- a flame war) It severely limits
the time schedules for all the other chance factors that are required
for evil oceans to spawn, bear fruit not "of its kind" and go on to
conquer the planet in all its levels.

The odds of that happening are... on topic.
