If the universe was fine tuned for our life...

Which is why the concept, particularly as it has been thrown around in this thread, is meaningless.

Moving the reason for fine tuning from life to emergent complexities is an amateurish maneuver to avoid addressing anthropic principle rebuttals. This is just kicking the can down the road. Either way, this isn't your biggest concern.

The reason fine tuning arguments are dead on arrival is that we only have one observation for any of the physical constants. There is absolutely no reason to think that they could be any different. Anyone, including Fred Hoyle if he were alive, that assigns probabilities to entities or events that have not been observed need to take a remedial statistics course. Imagining the physical constants to be different and then invoking god or the multiverse is nothing more than wild unsubstantiated speculation. Nothing more.
