My experience with random processes: on large scales, things either happen 0 times or many times. So I find the idea that life exists in only one place pretty implausible.
By that definition, the first life on earth was not alive the first 1 billion years or so, until the complex process of reproduction was invented. Heck, life doesn’t even have to be mobile, can be fused to a rock, even more so than moss or a stromatolith. Metabolism and maybe reaction to stimuli are imo the only real requirements.

That’s the rule for astronomy. If it happens once, it always happens; we just haven’t seen it yet

you may define life however you like; the thing I said still makes sense regardless of definition (0 or many)
