the issue isnt that it fails to explain it: the issue is that its shit
nucrons dont even make sense imo. Before, the necrons were bent on exterminating life because they were essentially thralls of c'tan and thats what c'tan wanted to do out of hunger, jealousy or who knows what
the necrons had a tragic story where they were tricked into a faustian bargain and were given everything they desired at the cost of themselves
now theyre literally just tomb kings in space who c'tan gave super cool robot bodies and who want to kill everyone because.... thats what necrons do and they hated the old ones so much now they hate everything alive or something stupid
but now we get a lot more necrons with personalities and its easier to write more generic fluff for them with comprehensible human motivations
the immaterium is a great get out of jail free card and the chaos gods are one of the best parts of 40k easily. C'tan being essentially a deity but not part of the immaterium and even precluded from it was also great but thats been sidelined for shit like the slient king who is no more interesting than any other human character
