after all, we can't find them in the fossil record (though there's theories that some other things we see might be very different ancestors of them), clearly they just showed up shortly before they were first discovered in the 1880s.

In response to this posta deep sea submersible once collected a spatangoid urchin 3km down that was wearing a cloak of over 200 Xenophyophores. It is unknown if the urchin was specifically collecting them, or the Xenophyophores specifically sought out the urchin to grow on.
they're the dominant organism in parts of the ocean floor. It's been theorized that they are "ecosystem engineers": a creature that significantly impacts a habitat, such as how beavers significantly impact the flow of rivers with their dams.
