The question is better phrased as "why does anything exist?" That avoids 50 shades of nothing, or whatever it is you're worried about.
So far the only coherent suggestion is that some things must logically exist, or at least be true, like 1+1=2, and that everything else can be "leveraged" from that. If anyone has any better ideas for why anything exists, please let me know.
