We are humans. Of course we will mess with this natural process. In the next 1000 years we will probably mine Phobos until it is a hollow shell, and then turn the interior space into a giant amusement park.

From the mined metals and silicon we could build orbiting power stations, and warm up Mars by beaming microwaves and reflected sunlight to the surface.
