That would be if the premise of the game was truly random, but it isn't. You can warp to planets which you can see others have discovered, and thus raise the chance of meeting someone there. Similarly you could organize meeting up with someone and there's a good chance that a certain planet will have something "great" on them so via online forums, it could be busier. And finally everyone's going to the same place so eventually you'll meet someone in the same place.
Not saying the game isn't unbelievably huge because it is. However it also isn't completely random. No doubt loads of people won't meet others though as you say but I feel the odds will be slightly more in your favour.
