Why should that be the expectation? Can't you think of other reasons to find habitable planets other than some supposed place for us to flee to (which is a dumb idea).

Humans have had an insatiable urge to explore, chart, and colonize every square inch of habitable land for as long as we've been humans.

The morass of space will not stop us. We will spread and claim and consume until we have conquered every last bit of empty of space in the galaxy. Even if it takes us a million years.
