Being able to create new universes isn't the same as being able to push 10^70 creatures from our universe into each new universe. You could still have subsistence income for the creatures in each universe.
But the new universes also have their own population, though I guess you could colonize universes where humans don't arise rather than universes identical to this one except I didn't scratch my nose just now
Or just enter the universe early. Suppose our universe were created suchly, and for some reason the creators just had to have a metallic terrestrial planet. Even waiting for all the necessary supernovae, they still have a good billion or 2 years to exploit the Earth before we arose.
And given the Great Silence, it might just be that exploiters don't need to worry about competition in the new universe.
