It isn’t counterintuitive at all. I just think you have the physics/implications wrong. I think it probably does predict something. The anthropological effect only justifies sensing order to the extent that order was necessary for our existence. So if the only environment that mattered for the purposes of our existence was the planet Earth then we should only expect to find order on Earth. If you’re right, as we gather information about more and more remote locations we should see less and less constant conjunction. For example, I don’t think the neighboring galaxies perfectly obeying the laws of gravity is necessary for our continued existence—so that order cannot be explained away with an appeal to the anthropic principle.
More importantly though, inflation does not predict that in an infinite universe there will be a finite region that contains every modally possible configuration. The possible configurations are constrained by the laws of physics. Indeed, you can’t predict inflation unless you assume some (all?) of those laws are working throughout the universe. I think accepting inflation requires you to accept some universal laws of physics. As such, your theory is implicitly denied by inflation.
