That's probably because they all share the same quality of being a large system whose behavior results from the emergent correlated behavior of much smaller parts.

True, and maybe we could say this about almost anything in the Universe
Even just a single cell is made up of millions of smaller particles, all moving around
Everything is always either forming/growing or decaying
Amazing how at a certain distance, a galaxy starts looking a lot like a living organism
Same for planets, or at least what astronauts say about Earth after seeing it from space
