Our universe might be fined-tuned for life because there are a huge number of universes each with different laws of physics and only under a tiny set of these laws can sentient life exist and we shouldn’t be surprised to live in one of these fine-tuned universes.

So what you're saying here is that we can conclude we live in one of these fine-tuned universes simply by updating on the fact of our existence, correct?

Our existence + the Fermi paradox, and it's a high probability rather than a certainty.
