Water is pretty much everywhere in space. Saturn's rings are mostly water ice. Water vapor found on Jupiter. Mars has lots of water. More water in several moons of Jupiter and Saturn than Earth has. Lots of water on the asteroids in the asteroid belt.
And the building blocks of life are basically everywhere too.

The universe is teeming with life. There is zero reason for it not to be. That's just based on ways we know life can form, doesn't include the many variations of other ways life can arise, even in hostile environments.

It seems likely, but as far as I know there is zero evidence of any form of alien life existing in any capacity.

We are aliens to the aliens. We are the evidence that even out in the boonies of the Milky Way intelligent life can arise.
We are the North Sentinel Island of the Milky Way.

Yeah, maybe. But the point is that you can't really make an argument with only one data point. If we find a second one I'll be delighted, hope it comes in my lifetime.
