I would also say it's easier to describe everything than to describe a particular smaller subset of the possible, for example less information is required to describe all the infinite digits of π than to describe only the first trillion digits of π and no more. And nobody knows if the laws of physics that are different from those that we observe (such as by having different fundamental constants) produce contradictions or not, nobody knows if that's possible.
