I do care about everything that exists. I am not particularly certain that all mathematically possible universes exist, or how much they exist if they do.

So you're using exist in a sense according to which they have moral relevance iff they exist (or something roughly like that), which may be broader than ‘be in this universe’ but may be narrower than ‘be mathematically possible’. I think I get it now.
