That was my thought, too. Blair figured out pretty quickly that the Thing had to be isolated before it assimilated all life on Earth.
After they realized the same, I think the aliens in the ship crashed on purpose on what they thought was a backwater planet with no sentient life to quarantine the Thing where it could do no harm.
