I agree with you point theoretically, and I too struggle with the question of who or what maintains the simulation. I don't, however, view this as a reasonable criticism of the theory in itself. Just because we cannot fathom the origins of the simulated reality doesn't change the statistical argument that this is, in fact, a simulation.
On the other hand, it's so far removed that our notion of computing power might not even apply to the real base reality. Our notion of physics might not even apply.

Very true and good points. Sure I might be a brain in a vat, or a simulation, but I still believe my experience and will continue to live my life as if we are in the base reality.
