I believe if life is common than there must of been at least one group of aliens that at least attempted to colonize it self everywhere in space?
Unless humans are a extreme anomaly and that most other aliens don’t really care about space exploration, and just focus on their home planet.

tbf, you cant really argue what likelyhood life is with one example, we only have the top of the fraction. it could be one in ten, or one in 10 quadrillion.
I think a somewhat opposite approach is better, life seems extremely improbable, and we have a single example of life, so we ask why life seems so rare. No one without an example of life would be asking why life is so improbable so for anyone or anything asking this question there is a 100% chance they will have an example of life. You dont go around asking why smoopityboopity is so rare, cuz u dont even know what that is.
