That phrase is a bit misleading. The planet will be fine. We're the ones that will be dead 🙃

Does a planet still exist if there are no humans to experience it

We're also causing and accelerating a mass extinction event, so it's not great for every living thing around us.

The planet will still be there but if we manage to kill 90% of life in the process that doesn't mean the planet is "fine" even if humanity is wiped out.
