For life in general I would agree but for human level intelligence I’m not so sure, in our galaxy anyway. The number of things that had to line up for us to be the dominant lifeform on the planet is enormous.
Goldilocks zone.
Life.
Large outer gas giants.
Complex life (someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe this has only happened once in 4B years / all complex lifeforms have a common ancestor)
Oxygen tolerant life.
Hundreds of millions of years of evolution.
Multiple mass extinctions.
Planet habitable for enormously long periods.
Evolution of large brains for the first time.
Etc
