So despite the varying distances from their sun, all are ‘habitable’. Change the temp here 1°C and all life is imminently threatened.

How can that be when life across Earth lives & thrives in temperatures that have far greater differences?

All bets for these Trappist planets being habitable are off if further telescopic studies discover the presence of SUVs, Republicans or Capitalists on the planets.

Habitable is really too click-bait(y).

There are so many factors that would be needed to make anything there livable. One thing I’ve not seen is the presence of a gas giant to shield these planets from asteroids and comets.

The star itself isn’t supposed to be much larger than Jupiter.

And I cant imagine that this system is that stable since these habitable zone of a star this size would barely reach past Mercury here.
