Plants in Super Habitable Exoplanets Could Look Purple

All make sense to me. I wonder what advanced life on those planets would be like, though. Would they create similar stuff to us? Would their cars resemble ours?
This is Scatman's world, and we're living in it.

Probably the cars would be very different. They'll be built in such a way that the aliens can attain a comfortable position while safely controlling the car. If they're bipedal that might be a fairly familiar shape. Depending on the size of their social units, I'd imagine cars could be built for anywhere between 1 and 20 beings rather than the 5 that is standard for human cars.

A planet resulting from of supernovae that spewed out too many heavy elements could be filled with hydrochloric oceans, creating acid rains that make mountains not as tall as they could be, giving crystalline plants a pretty purple hue because all the green light is being scattered by the sky and sea. The creatures living there look like muscled-up mole crickets, but that's a different story.
A cold planet filled with ammonia and dry ice plains, became the home of slow-moving crab-people that came from near the galactic core. They rode on spaceships whose hull is like the insides of a freezer, using ice plates thick enough to block cosmic radiation while letting space debris simply slide off them.
As you can see, I'm a huge nerd who'd rather write about how we can become a Type V civilization instead of study for my final exams (gotta fix that).
But to put an end to this topic, might I say that the one and only greatest future achievement of humankind is when it finally becomes posthumankind.

2. The oceans could be shallow, with a turquoise blue colour.
The Caribbean Sea has turquoise blue water
3. The vegetation could cover more regions than in Earth, and the colour of the trees could be purple.
Eggplants
Hydrangea
Phosphorus deficient leaves turn purple
Everything you suggested already exists on earth, so of course it's all possible on other planets.
