That wasn't my objection. The question is a nonsense question and I added an alternative that wasn't a nonsense question.
The problem with asking "Why aren't bachelors married instead of unmarried?" isn't that it's a difficult "hard question", it's that it's a nonsense question. And "Why is there something rather than nothing?" is the logical equivalent as it's another form of "Why does existence exist rather than not exist?" or "why is existence existent?" which is like asking "why does A=A?"... these are nonsense questions.
I provided the alternative question that makes actual sense.
