>it’s at the bottom of JWST’s bucket list because there are no immediate consequences for actual astronomy
This isn't actually true. Like most telescopes the time is spread over many topics. This figure shows the most recent cycle of proposals. A quarter of the time is going to Exoplanets. On top of this there is a very large Director's Discretionary Time program on exoplanet transients specifically. By no means small, especially considering that the original proposal for JWST had nothing to do with exoplanets.

>sell the public on the transparent lie of looking for life
That is a a lie. The topic of NGST was "visiting a time when galaxies were young". Nothing to do with exoplanets or life. Nothing serious said it was going to detect life. If you were mislead that is your fault for not investigating your sources.
