If the constants of nature were completely arbitrary you might be right, but I don't think anyone's suggesting that they necessarily are. Some (combinations of) constants might represent underlying principles that we just haven't discovered yet. The multiverse hypothesis which the article mentions isn't really satisfactory intuitively, but these days particle physics isn't really in the realm of intuition at all. It does run into the so-called "measurement problem". (Which may have a hypothesized solution these days for all I know, I'm not even a layman.) Personally, I think the question of entropy is more interesting and fundamental. It's essentially the question "Why did the universe start with such low entropy?". Sean Carroll has quite a few talks up on "the tubes" about that question, and I find it fascinating. EDIT: Sorry about the rambling, not particularly in a state to talk about big cosmological questions at the moment. Hopefully you'll find it useful nonetheless.
