"he sees the simulation argument as self-destructing because since we know nothing about the universe that might simulate us, it could also be simulated by another universe, which is a “a reductio ad absurdum.”

There is nothing absurd about that.

There is no need for MWI to assign different versions of you to different worlds. Nothing labels your counterparts other than their having had different histories as a result of having lived in different worlds, which is to say, their identities and the identites of he worlds they live in match up automatically without ant special mechanism.

Consider the MWI response to Schrodingers Cat.
