Fact is, it does. Stephen Hawking says:

" The Anthropioc Principle can be paraphrased as:
We see the Universe the way it is because we exist"
(S. Hawking, Brief History of Time, p. 128)

Do you think that quote means the same as:

"The Universe is the way it is because we exist"?

or perhaps,

"The Universe exists because we see it"?

because you seem to think Hawking's statement means one, or both, of the
above.
