It is that simple. You're overcomplicating it. We're doing "apples and oranges."

The earth, as a planet, will be fine.

Whether or not we, or other species can live on it, has nothing to do with it being a planet.

The atmosphere/environment we live in is a transient property of the planet, but it is not the planet.

As far as we know, many, if not most, planets are devoid of life.

I would argue a lifeless earth would be more "normal."
