Universal Reset Button?

So now some astronomers are saying our solar system drifts through
one of the arms of the Milky Way every 50-65 million years, which
causes millions of Oort Cloud objects to hurtle in toward the sun
and wreaks global havoc on the Earth and other planets. And what
happens here likely happens most everywhere else in the universe.

Could this simply be nature's reset button, to periodically wipe the
slate clean and start over?

Nature probably doesn't care. There are most likely lone stars,
possibly with planets, drifting through the intergalactic void.
Change, pain, and death are part of life, and there is nothing
inherently "right" or "satisfying" about it. Why should it take
"50-65" million years to need to wipe the slate clean?
