You did, when you said "they could be substantially closer than Earth to LV-426". .
No, I specifically said we don't one who they're talking to and what the distance is - and that that distance could be closer than LV-426 is to Earth.
Fiorina is a purely WY operation, Hadley's Hope isn't. We can't compare them.

Whoever said that I didn't like the movie?!
Who said I liked it enough to ignore problems?
QuoteBut why didn't they get a message out? It makes zero sense that they colonists wouldn't have tried to reach out to someone for help.
Who said they didn't try?
That's the point. We don't know. It's fun to speculate but it's entirely irrelevant to the plot precisely why they didn't get a message out. That doesn't make it a glaring flaw, any more than not knowing precisely why there are eggs on the derelict is a flaw.
It's enough to know that's what happened and move on.
