Our solar system is built out of the remnants of former stars. The earliest solar systems were comprised hydrogen and helium and created the heavier elements we expect life to require.
Perhaps it’s possible for life forms to be hydrogen based but would we be able to recognize them?
There’s also the thought that future life will be formed out of even heavier base elements the do not exists in proper quantities at this stage.
If we assume the hypothesis of heat death of the universe is how this all ends, we’re still in the first one percent of the universe’s existence.
