If they were concerned about contaminating the ice moons, why not Titan?

Is it because Titan was just so different from the ice moons that any Earth life would not survive?

The reason no probes have landed on ice moons isn’t because they’re concerned about contamination.

They don’t have atmospheres, we can see ice it is unlikely to be all that interesting up close. They don’t have the technology to build probes that can dig under the ice yet.

They went to Titan because it has an atmosphere and they wanted to see the surface.
