Maybe because it's metaphysically impossible for us to observe all different outcomes simultaneously?
That said, not a fan of the Copenhagen. It feels ... incomplete.
I was under the impression that the Copenhagen interpretation said that the observer at least seems to have an effect on the results. And not merely that we can only observe one perspective or outcome. I mean, there's nothing mysterious or strange about that. That's always the case.
Perhaps I've been wrong all along about what the Copenhagen interpretation is supposed to entail, but I've always associated it with indeterminism/randomness rather than the notion of "observation" having an impact on the results. I'm not arguing that this would be "woo-ey" or anything like that, though.
