“Not stable. not created in nature, and no implications beyond research. The universe does not look different because of this laboratory creation.”
Respected scientists in the 1600’s and 1700’s often said the same thing of electricity.

You left of the term “some” as fact is some scientits were exploring electricty in the 1600s, and some aspects of electricity were understood as far back as 600 B.C.
It took people a long time from understanding electricity to understanding how to conveneniently generate it “in bulk”.
Had Ben Franklin had enough time his experiments with lightening may have produced productive results before the age of Edison et al.
But life as we know it is not lived at the Quantum level, regardless of how that level is many layers below physical existence.
For nature to produce what the scientists produced in the laboratory, nature would have to somehow execute the similar means the humans did in the lab. There is no observations we know of that nature does that.
