We have two possibilities:
1. The universe does have certain regularities that will continue into the future.
2. The universe does not have certain regularities that will continue into the future.
If the universe does not have certain regularities then induction is no worse and no better than anything else, including random guessing.
If the universe does have certain regularities then induction, which is the method of examining past regularities and projecting them into the future, is the best method.
So, at least induction is not worse than any of the alternatives and it's even possible that it is better.
