It's possible that life exists anywhere in the Solar System where there is any survivable ecological niche, and finding out should be our top priority (since ubiquitous life would have grim implications for the future of humanity).

Leaving aside Bostrom (whom I do not respect as a thinker), my point is that finding life everywhere locally removes one possibility (life is exceptionally rare). We removed another possibility (planets are rare) with the discovery of exoplanets. I'm talking about relative shifts

I agree that there's a relative shift (and about Bostrom). But to have the argument be meaningful, you need those relative shifts to change the likelyhood in a nontrivial way, and I don't think they do. Everything is very far away in space, that's why we don't meet the neighbors.
