Without an early presence of black holes, it is impossible for galaxies to have formed. No galaxies, no heavy elements near Main Sequence Stars. No such elements near stable stars, no rocky planets that have the time to develop life. No life, no observers.

So, black holes are "fundamental" in the sense that a Universe without them would be a Universe without anyone to recognize that there were no black holes!

The black holes may not devour everything since the outward velocity of the matter in the universe may escapethe gravitational pull of the black holes. Stephen Hawkins reckons that even the mass in the black holes would diminish over time, though over trillions and trillions of years.
