1. Assuming this particular universe we are in is complex relative to other ones we haven't even observed. We might literally be in the most simple type of universe that can exist.I an heading more to the multiverse theory. Life builds on preexisting complexity and a less complex universe is already more likely than a complex one.
2. Since we can't observe any other universe (especially not with any detail), there's no telling how likely or unlikely our universe is relative to them.
-_- probably that it currently isn't actually possible to calculate how likely life is, even in the context of it being within just this particular universe. Since we don't actually know all of the possible environments in which life can arise. We don't even know how common Earth-like planets are because the planets we can observe is such a small sample size relative to the universe.I am not at ease with the idea that we should not at all think about likelyhood when tackling the question of life but maybe there is something I am not getting.
