But the whole arrangement is 'naturally' explained by the "expansion" of space. The solution falls out of this simple model.
I couldn’t agree more, but why do we need an exotic injection of new space when expansion of the primordial plasma will suffice?

No hand setting necessary and not an explosion if …
Can I refer to the initial “stuff” of our expanding observable universe as “plasma soup”?
No hand setting necessary if the initial expanding plasma soup was the source of the formation of matter.

If matter formed within an expanding plasma soup, the matter would have expansion momentum when it formed meaning that all matter that formed would be moving away from all other matter right from the start.
