Is Determinism Weirder than the Alternative?

If determinism is the case, than everything that has happened since the universe began was inexorably set in motion the moment the universe began to exist. Or perhaps, if we want to zoom out, everything that has ever happened are the only things that could have happened. Reality is what it is, and was always going to be, and always will be. A entity with the right qualities could observe the big bang and, based on that snapshot of the first moment of the universe, infer correctly every winning lottery number ever.

What often gets glossed over is this implies that the Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco is an inevitable aspect of reality. Physics plus the presets of the big bang initiated a domino chain that, billions of years later, was always going to lead to the Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco. If the presets of the big bang also could not have been other than what they were, then our universe is -by its nature - the kind of universe has Taco Bell Doritos Locos Tacos in it.

Of course, if things could have been other than what they are, then Taco Bell Doritos Locos didn't have to exist, but we happened to end up in the reality were they do. Of all possible iterations of the world I could live in, the one I in fact find myself in has Taco Bell Doritos Locos Tacos.

Both of these seem very strange in different ways.
