The question at hand is whether the carbonyl sulfide is itself a sign of life as we know it...

The presumption is that it does photolyze in Venus' atmosphere which is why its presence suggests an ongoing process, not past volcanism by example.

Coal, garbage, and feed stocks are regarded as unambiguous indicators of biological activity.

The process of its formation is abiotic. Hey, it's abiotic in volcanos.
