Much of our experience follows reliable rules and is outside our control, yes. But this is still compatible with solipsism; it's possible that our solipsistic experience is regular and uncontrollable for no reason. On the other hand, external-world realism might provide a better explanation of our experience, even if it isn't definitively proven by our experience.

That's like saying we flip a coin a googolplex times a second and get tails every time, every second, of every day, for how unlikely that would be for our observations to be eternally consistent... purely by coincidence.

The probability of objective reality not existing, purely based on the evidence of our observations, is so low that we can dismiss the possibility entirely.
