I’m not surprised at all honestly

It sounds insane to say, but 13.4 or whatever felt way too young

Well, it would be most logical for it to have existed forever.

For the last 13.7 billion years, we haven’t observed matter/energy just popping into existence. In all that time, nothing was truly created from scratch.

So, it would be quite the exception to the rule, if that was different beforehand…
