Okay: if the spice is 1) essential to interstellar travel and 2) can only be found on the remote planet Arrakis, then how did humanity ever find it? I mean, how was Arrakis colonized and mined in a pre-FTL universe?

It’s not essential to interstellar travel per se. It’s essential to navigating space without a computer. Computers are banned, so expanded human minds need to replace them. Humans originally settled the universe using computer-guided navigation as in most sci-fi.

Robots had taken over and enslaved humanity, leading to an uprising (the Butlerian Jihad) which led to AI being banned.
