It's not so much that the physical constants are optimized, it's that
they're in the right range (which may or may not include the
"optimum").  Furthermore, the paper being cited focuses only on the
cosmological constant, not the many other constants that seem to make
it unlikely that there will be the right conditions for life to evolve
given one chance to do so.  I don't know why Sabine Hossenfelder hates
the multiverse, but she's doing the right by trying to falsify it
(which I would consider one of the weaknesses of the multiverse theory
--  that is, how to test it).
