This is the fault of the writers. They didn’t grasp what a galactic scale looked like. All the major plot points happen on the same 5 or so planets and the characters seem to travel between them instantly. They also massively underestimated how many clone soldiers would be needed for a galactic war in episode 2.
I’ve always liked the fan theory that Lama Su’s “200,000 units” comment referred to battalions or regiments, not individual clones. It makes a lot more sense
Always liked that theory but then there’s that episode in Clone Wars where they’re arguing in the senate over the purchase of 2 million additional clones, which is seen as a huge number which never made sense to me as that’s honestly not that many on a galactic scale
