You're right. Does seem like a theory in search of a problem. Maybe the problem it's meant to address is the misgivings of creationists. Constructor theory may go somewhere yet, but judging from this write-up alone it seems like it’s desperate to explain evolution in terms of intelligent design. Somehow reminds me of the Terence McKenna quote to do with Big Bang theory, that “science just asks for one small miracle and then they'll be sure to take care of the rest.”
