There wasn't any plutonium on Earth, either, until we decided we needed some.
Because the longest-lived isotope of plutonium has a half-life close to 100 million years, so some 45 halvings have happened since the Earth formation, almost all primordial plutonium has decayed by now.
A few atoms of the primordial plutonium are still around us, though they are much too few to be easily detectable (there have been claims that some very sensitive experiments have detected them).
...it’s estimated that working fusion reactors will need up to 200 kg of it a year
