Is there something special about the visible spectrum?
Post Body
Is there something special about the slice of the electromagnetic spectrum critters on this planet tend to perceive that makes it uniquely suited for survival by rudimentarly judging the chemistry of things from afar? I know that some can sense a little lower or higher but overall even a lot of instruments we built are at least adjacent to the visible spectrum.
Is it the most well-rounded? Am I missing something?

Thank you for this super frikken extensive explanation. So basically in carbon-based life you'd get a bit above or a bit below or generally broader but it'd likely all sort of average itself out around that general spectrum, under known science at least.
