People just can't let go of wanting some kind of God
The reverse is also true. While the inability to determine why the laws of physics are there is not evident that there must be some reason that they are there, one can conjecture a causal relation with some kind of entity that affected it. Either that be God, or the playful intern that happened to create UniverseSandbox#9971

It also encourages sloppy and superstitious thinking where coincidences become proof that it's The Matrix.
People just can't let go of wanting some kind of God and for the random nonsense in the Universe to make sense.

Exactly, it just leads to infinite regress, as every layer can also be contained within another layer as simulation, so it's uninteresting.
What you’re describing is the actual reason for Occam’s razor.
It's also part of a decent proof for the existence of God, specifically an extension of the Kalām Cosmological Argument.
