The simple answer is that physical models of reality appear to be accidental and arbitrary which suggests the various forces and constants could be otherwise. So why not?
I didn’t think this was the type of conversation that had simple answers. 😛
Perhaps it’s possible that the physical constants of this universe could have been different. I’d say it’s hardly a settled matter. Even giving that assumption though, we don’t know what might extend beyond this universe. For example; a multiverse can’t be ruled out.
