The Tau's biological sciences aren't that advanced -- they live to be like 40-50 years old, and dont seem to even have rejuvenat treatments....

As far as I understand, this would have been the case in the 40k universe too, at certain points in it's history and returning it to this state is a very rational end-goal and part of what defeating chaos should entail.
