The study done to conclude this is cool and useful.
The way news outlets are framing it is a bit less useful.
Microbes surviving under the surface is contingent upon life having ever existed on Mars which is still just as unknown as it was before the study.
It's kind of like a headline saying, "Atlantis may have surviving buildings at the bottom of the ocean." But the study they are quoting is simply studying the longevity of structures underwater - NOT saying anything about Atlantis actually being real.
