I think you are not giving proper qualification. The universe seems to be perfectly suited for ***intelligent*** life. One ingredient of that, I think, is having 99.9% of the universe incapable of sustaining any life at all. Said differently, this universe may indeed be for intelligent life (and perhaps us specifically) while being hostile to any life most of the time, precisely so that we'd ask the "right" questions.
Just a speculation, but then again...so is a multiverse of staggering size.
