I always get a chuckle whenever anyone mentions “years” as a time reference in these scenarios.
What was a “year” before earth’s orbit around the sun existed?

As a unit of time, it's still basically valid, given that distances to the furthest regions of space are determined via the light-year, the distance light travels in a year at its speed of 186,000 miles per second. Granted, there are a lot of seconds in 11.7 billion years (13.7 - 2.0 = 11.7).
