cannot establish whether the organic compounds are linked to potential ancient life on Mars or were delivered by meteorites or formed through geological processes.

So this tells us absolutely nothing that we didn't already know.

Meteorites contain organic compounds so it shouldn't be surprising to find them on Mars or the moon or other rocky planets.
