Once you make a computer that simulates all physics of th universe from scratch, you are caught in a recursion, spawning infinite universes

What about all the waste heat in running the simulation?

No problem if you have an infinite universe and can build infinite computers in it. (Not that I think that's the case.)

It is a certain theology of infinity. All ideas of infinity have some theology behind them.

I agree. Theological reasons as well. Cantor's infinities were inspired by Christian faith. Jains have a more ancient theory of infinities.
