It means life could take lots of forms we cannot even fathom. Just because earth had conditions where intelligent life needed opposable thumbs to thrive, doesn't mean it'll be nearly the same in other places. Intelligent life could take shapes we can't even imagine right now. I don't think so. There's not a whole lot of difference to be had. A wheel on Earth works just as fine as a wheel on Mars. What about a low gravity environment where you dont really need limbs to float from place to place? Or high gravity where limbs would be unsuitable or the creature would be absolutely ripped.
