20 light years is practically in our lap compared to the vast size of our galaxy, so statistically speaking, it seems very likely it’s not unique. I don’t want to extrapolate from a data set of two (us and them), but if this is typical, there could be millions of such planets in the galaxy. Millions.

That's like finding a penny on the ground in your driveway, then walking a few feet away, finding another, and then jumping to the conclusion that there must be millions of dollars all over the city.
There is no reason assume it is typical.
