There's no reason why other universes would necessarily vary widely from ours and no reason to think the universal constants are completely arbitrary and random in their values.
Well said. I think the idea of a multiverse gets confused with the philosophic idea of the best of all possible worlds. The multiverse does not require that every conceivable variant should exist.
An adequate theory of physical laws must already account for the early stages of the universe. But the change of physical laws during the early evolution of the universe is not random or haphazard. Changes in the 'laws' are self-consistent given the radical changes in the states of things. Most likely there is an adequate description of how everything hangs together. Is simply won't be available to any conceivable creature, our selves included.
