Fair point, it's meant to provoke discourse and it's impossible to prove. However the human world view by it's very nature is "anthropocentric".

Maybe more like an open-secret to those aware of the nature of consciousness or reality.

It's a contrived attempt to explain a world view that would justify suffering and a lack of empathy. Those that seek to maintain power over other's may not need a reason.

The universe is "complex" but does it revolve around human activity. Likely not but would a simulation spun up to control humans have an anthropocentric angle.. likely yes.

So it’s a tautology.

Your hypothesis is undecidable, why would humanity in your scenario be more of interest than whales or octopus or bees or ants or fungi?
