Right. Ian Malcolm's one miss here is that Mother Nature is so cold that she's also OK with life uh, not finding a way at all. The warm damp rock does not care that there's stuff growing on it.

I think the intent of the "life finds a way" quote is not that "a single life finds a way" more so that "life, as a biological system, finds a way"
That was my intention too. The rock doesn't care that there's any stuff living on it. Frogs. Cats. Humans. Algae. Things running entirely on chemosynthesis in the deep ocean. The warm damp rock will still be warm and damp if they all die, in a broader sense nothing changes.
