I'd say this question is way too antropomorphic and has a wrong premise in it. It's not the universe that is 'tuned', it's life that appears in favourable conditions and adapts to them. But even so it could be figuratively said that our universe is perfectly 'tuned' for life as we know it since it has such a combination of fundamental parameters that allow such life as ours to exist. I've placed 'tuned' into apostrophs because it doesn't mean that the universe was actually created or tuned by someone. In fact, even such favourable parameters do not strictly guarantee that life comes into existance at all. And according to the Weak Anthropic Principle there could potentially be other universes that are incapable of supporting life as we know it or incapable of supporting life at all (since there could even be no stable atoms for example).
