Maybe it's not so amusing.
There are many similar critters living in the same places. Arthropods, annelids, nematodes, rotifers. Some are more complex than tardis, some are simpler. Tardis are ordinary in size and complexity.
Only tardis have superpowers.
None of those other critters have special mechanisms to survive all sorts of conditions that don't happen in nature. A shady moss grove doesn't experience gamma rays, vacuum, absolute zero, or being shot from guns.
It's clear that Tardi Lives Mattered in the mind of the designer. Why? Were tardis the original colonists sent to establish life on earth? Or sent from earth to colonize other planets? They have exactly the powers needed for a long spaceflight. After the flight, they live everywhere and they're inconspicuous and innocuous, maybe even cute. Nobody hates them.
