This is a good explanation but there’s also just the simpler fact that if things can’t collide (and dark matter is mostly collisionless as famously seen in the bullet cluster) it’s hard to get it to “stick together”. So while gravitational force will get it form “dense halos” it’s fairly unlikely you’ll get something like planets or stars.
