Just because you can ask something doesn't mean it has an answer. Reality is the way it is. Why it is this way is something that we may never know, because there may not be an answer.

Also, what you're saying about physical constants is patently false. I've already pointed out extremophiles, which live in conditions unsuitable for most other life forms we know of, but the fact is, we only have knowledge of the type of life forms we've encountered here on Earth. We can only say that if the physical constants we know were different, then the universe would be different. To say anything else with certainty would require a level of knowledge and predictive ability we do not possess.
