I’m confident that it will happen, these things just take time. There’s enough energy floating around bound up in plastic polymers, and the chemistry is simple enough, that something will learn to make use of it. 100 years is just way too short in evolutionary time for it to happen on a large scale.

Dead on. It happened with trees, and wood is still useful.
