It is also the only theory under which QM is compatible with the well-established principles of locality, causality, and determinism. If you believe in QM, and any of those principles, Everett is your only option. The only reason single-universe ideas haven't already been refuted is that they are ambiguously defined. That is, they make no explicit predictions as to when or how collapse happens, so whenever interference is demonstrated with larger and larger systems, defenders of collapse just adjusting the line.
