Methane is a far cry from the long-chain and complex hydrocarbons found in crude oil.

In an environment like Titan without sufficient oxygen, methane, ethane and the like are the lowest energy states for the atoms of carbon and hydrogen. Ethane and the like will be the result depending upon the ratio of carbon to hydrogen.

It would be like surprised there was water and carbon dioxide on earth.
