Has it been made clear why the spell life shell has received such a dramatic buff in starfinder? In pathfinder it was a 5th level spell with a duration of 2 hours/level divided between each creature affected, and in starfinder it's a 1st level spell that lasts 1 day/level no matter how many creatures are affected. While it would make sense that spacers have refined the spell. In it's current state it negates any risk of the vacuum of space, or any chance of a GM creating a planet with a toxic atmosphere to try and challenge the players.
IF a player decides to learn it. Which they won't necessarily do, because off-the rack t-shirts come with 24 hour life support systems. Why would a player burn a precious spell slot on something their armor does just because?

Well, it does come in handy if you get locked outside while streaking, I'd imagine. Assuming the world you're on has an atmosphere comparable to, say Venus. Or Los Angeles.

Given that armor is capable of such miraculous feats on it's own why even include the spell then? The change just seems to disregard the notion of players running the risk of running out of air without the GM doing a serious amount of rule-alteration
The spell seems mostly there for the purpose of 'You guys need to save civilians' or such.
