We only know of one rock in all existence that’s habitable to humans or literally anything else. Relative to humans, yeah life finds a way cuz it’s a lot more resilient than us; relative to the kinds of extremes the universe of capable of producing, life is SUPER fragile.
So… yes, humans are fucked, but so are a lot of other critters, and who knows where all the feedback loops we’ve unleashed will end after we’re gone. Shit isn’t going to just magically get better once we’re gone.
Hopefully it’ll stabilize, but there comes a point that even the most hardy of extremophiles can’t survive, and if we cross that line, Earth becomes indistinguishable from every other lifeless rock in space.
Uninhabitable…for humans!

But no other lifeless rock in space has abandoned shopping malls…
