If necessary then the obvious question arises. Why must the physical universe be as it is and no other way? If by chance, then an infinite regress ensues. Why is the multiverse fine-tuned to generate physical universes that are fine-tuned?

The common multiverse argument isn't that it is fine-tuned, but that among an infinite number of universes within the multiverse, there are bound to be universes with certain ranges of values that permit for human life just by "chance".

That is not exactly what I meant. If we live in a Multiverse then it is sufficiently fine-tuned to produce at least one physical universe in which life is possibly. This is like saying that if our universe is fine tuned the it produced at least one planet capable of supporting life.
