Well consider the possibility of infinite universes with essentially random properties - the vast majority of these universes are unable to ever support life - in many matter doesn't form, others collapse quickly under their own gravity back into a singularity. In one of these universes the laws of physics are just right for life to eventually form, evolve and become intelligent. That intelligent life then asks 'why do all of the universal constants seem perfect for life?'.

Exactly. In any universe where there is no intelligent life, there is no life to ponder why they are (not) here.

In any universe where there is intelligent life, they wonder: "isn't it amazing that things are just right for life to happen".

Selection bias on a universal basis.
