I watched the video, and frankly I have to say it comes off as not much more than just pop-sci clickbait.
Firstly, the Local Bubble is not a newly discovered thing.
And secondly, it's not at all weird that we're set in the center of it. That's what happens when you travel through a space. Our route is nothing more than a coincidence.
From the 2022-01-22 New York Times article, "A New Map of the Sun's Local Bubble":
It's super awesome news and fascinating to boot, but no need to hype it up as some wonderous thing with quasi-spiritual implications.
