Nitpick: they don't have to have chosen to create or cause us to exist as such, just left us alone. The latter is more likely because of game theoretic asymmetry ("do no harm"). Not sure if you intended that to be in your scope.

The intended scope was inclusive - I didn't want to go overboard with making the caveat 'or' chain mention everything. The difference in actions and inactions when it comes to superintelligences that are controlling everything around us including giving us an entire fake universe to look at become rather meaningless.
