Your questions are fair. In my opinion, here's a couple of reasons:
1. It's generally been the community's view not to "duplicate" data sets that LW have produced.
2. Most of the people who have the skill to work on a Starfinder data set, haven't got the time to do so. (Or may not play Starfinder)
3. From what I understand as to how Starfinder PC's are made, doing an conversion from say Pathfinder would not be straightforward, and might even not be possible.

Current RPG's: Pathfinder (GM), Pathfinder (Player), Gamma World (GM, Pathfinder homebrew).
HeroLab: 3.5 & Pathfinder. HL User Files for PF: Greyhawk Setting, Gamma World (WIP).

It wouldn't be possible to convert Pathfinder since users aren't able to access all the logic and rules on which Pathfinder is built.

Thanks for the information. I was taking a look at it and thought it might be possible with some work around, fudgery, and adjustments. I can understand the time it would take putting people off. I was curious, because I was going to start a Starfinder campaign with my group.

I took me years to get the whole group to invest in Hero Lab. Now we never game without it. I looked into HLO and played around with the demo, but found it less flexible and didn't care for the UI. Perhaps it my disappointment speaking, and I will revisit it again at some other time. Until then, I guess we go old school and break out the paper and pens.
