The war lasted for 1000 years, according to Pearl, so there were lots of Gem fragments from both sides, I would think. But maybe not, it's not a perfect theory.

I would think that after the weapon was used, and there were thousands of corrupted Gems wandering about, it would be too dangerous to do much of anything on Earth, and so no Homeworld Gem was sent to Earth until they found a low level tech who was naive enough to fall for "Go to Earth, it'll be easy".

Untested weapon sounnds like a possibility too.
