What crappy writing. Trojan asteroid don’t orbit at a distance in front or behind they orbit at a distance equal to the distance from the planet to the sun. The number of asteroids in either location is entirely coincidental. Look up LaGrange Points in Wikipedia. Chances are good that Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids are of the same origin as the asteroids in the Asteroid Belt.
I doubt anyone who has any knowledge of astronomy in general considers our solar system to be weird. That is a big internet word that is way overused and detracts from any intelligent discussion. Other solar systems with their close gas giants have been discovered by the orbital properties of their systems and are not necessarily the most common or abundant just the most easily found.
The whole article is about a simulation which is the same thing as a computer game and a simulation is not a science experiment and doesn’t prove reality. Any simulation is only as good as the level of detail at its basis.
