I don't see why.
The idea that computation can't lead to what you call "stuffy"
existence
is not based on some non-computational property of matter.
It is based on the idea that computation is just an abstract
description
of physical behaviour, and real existence cannot spring from abstract
descriptions, any more than the characters in a novel can
come to life.
