You’re probably right, but I can think of the following points.
Its rule is more complicated than Life’s, so its worse as an example of emergent complexity from simple rules (which was Conway’s original motivation).
It’s also a harder location to demonstrate self replication. Any self replicator in Critters would have to be fed with some food source.
