Well, there are some possible anthropic drivers that come immediately to mind. Complex does not necessarily imply smart; it might be that large numbers of physical laws produce chaotic effects that forbid or strongly disadvantage the emergence of intelligent agents. And if there’s anything to the simulation hypothesis, then universes with simpler laws would be easier to simulate, which could again skew the set of possible universes towards simplicity.
