This sounds like another case of "i don't know" to "It must be" with no steps in between.
You may be right about the notion of seeding life, as far as the scale of the galaxy and the relatively miniscule amount of matter in the solar system by comparison.
The thing about the Panspermia hypothesis is that it doesn't require intelligence. Unintelligent life may be distributed by natural means.
The other thing is that the probability of a successful seeding is non-zero. Even the first opportunistic attempt could be successful, no matter how unlikely that is.
It is well worth noting that humans have observed only the tiniest bit of the universe, and that questions which seem like paradoxes are common in this stage of observation. Think of all the "paradoxes" surrounding QM and GR. Schroedinger's cat, the Twin Paradox, etc. None of them is truly a paradox, they just present information in a misleading way, and that presentation implies false assumptions.
In time, the Fermi Paradox will likely be revealed to be no paradox at all (based on the observation that all explained physical paradoxes have all been shown to be false). Unfortunately, that time scale could be millions of years.
