Many worlds is very neat and very sufficient and doesn't have to add some extra assumptions that other interpretations have to do. Though it does posit a lot of worlds but so what? When did we ever let counterintuitive be a problem for us?
You say we need to explain collapse, but isn't that sort of begging the question here? Why must there be a collapse at all? Incredulity isn't a good objection here.
ETA: Ok, rereading your post, perhaps charging you with begging the question was premature. Your argument for collapse is that there can't be an infinite regress or our universe would not be realized or something? I'm not sure why this should be the case. Under the MW interpretation, the waveform exists and all possibilities are realized in the form of worlds instead of just one. Not seeing the problem here. Maybe because I'm seeing it in an atemporal sense rather than temporal.
