IIRC the official story is that the civilization that used to live there had polluted the planet into extinction - the Heavy oil ocean used to be water but pollution turned it to oil

I've seen this lore in more than one place

My theory: failed terraforming experiment by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization.

Fulgora would have to be a world kind of like Titan, with vast reserves of hydrocarbons, except instead of being light hydrocarbons, somehow they are heavy hydrocarbons, denser than water.

Originally the world was basically a thin ice crust on a hydrocarbon ocean, the Fulgorians harvested the ice, but didn't have access to enough water/ice to really make the terraforming happen.

So the world ended up "dry", with hydrocarbon oceans, and the Fulgorians departed or transcended or whatever.

There's also the biter ruins "easter egg":

Hinting at a connection between the Fulgorians and Biters. The Biters seem to be an anti-industrialization force. It is possible the Biters are the descendents or creations of Fulgorians (or the civilization that attempted to colonize Fulgora) that are biologically opposed to technology and industrialization.

Fulgora looks like "X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) but Apocalypse succeeded" to me.
Movie spoilers ahead.
Last third of the movie presents buffed Magento sorry, habit Magneto connecting to magnetic field of the Earth then twisting it in such a manner so every metal item reacting to it becomes ground into well-minced mush.
Now, what we see on Fulgora?
Overly strong magnetic field and metal mush mixed with leftovers of non-magnetic high-tech materials.
"Why everything is scrap" is not the question in this case. "Why few lightning attractors are still inact" is.

As of oil oceans... maybe the set of lieutenants was different this time.
What if Jean Grey was press-ganged by Apocalypse and used to wipe out the organic failure called humankind?
