Reminds me of fully non-indexical conditioning; the probability that someone with your exact observations exists is in general higher in a universe with more population. SSA gets around this with “reference classes”, although it’s underdetermined how to construct one’s reference class.
I would also point out that FNC is not strictly a view-from-nowhere theory. The probability updates it proposes are still based on an implicit assumption of self-sampling.

EDIT: But also, see Stuart Armstrong’s critique about how it’s reflectively inconsistent.
Oh, well that’s pretty broken then! I guess you can’t use “objective physical view-from-nowhere” on its own, noted.
