Shouldn't Thanos' snap have also killed plant life and bacteria?

Why doesn't that result in the extinction of the remaining half of life? And when people who disappear following The Snap are returned, they appear in the exact locations from where they disappeared. Since neither the Earth, nor anything else in the Universe, would be in the same positions in space, why doesn't everything that returns re-materialize in space? For that matter, if the extremely intricate details required to return people to their exact positions from five years earlier is possible, why couldn't everyone be returned?

This was addressed-- according to the Russos, yes half of all life, bacteria included, was blipped away. As for their return, part of the Hulk's wish was that everyone returned safely, so no one materialized inside a wall or in the sky. And yes, everyone was returned.

You could easily just say it was sentient life.
