One thing that sounds weird to me is that the enzyme is present in ALL life forms on the planet, yet only the nearly extinct Sea Emperors now can produce it.

How come? It would mean that the Sea Emperors somehow provided all life forms on the planet with enough of that enzyme, possibly by releasing it in the sea (I can only imagine through waste product), so that bottom feeders and plankton eat it and then carry it through the alimentary chain.

But how is this situation sustainable? Sea Emperors aren't exactly ubiquitous, and even before the accidental slaughter caused by the Precursors, they must've lived in specific biomes since they're so big.
