If we discovered for-sure even one single tiny microbe anywhere off Earth, that would only change a fundamental fact of the entire rest of the universe forever

If we discovered for-sure even one single tiny microbe anywhere off Earth, that would only change a fundamental fact of the entire rest of the universe forever like when we discovered that the rest of the universe exists at all and that the Earth is not the center of Gods sno-globe. It would only mean there absolutely is other life out there even if we never meet them because of the sheer scale of everything. No big.
It's just the basic nature of reality changing. You can't eat it or fuck it, and your Netflix subscription will still be annoying, so what does it matter amirite?
