because it cannot come to grips with a sensible account of
probabilities. All attempts to derive probabilities and the Born
rule in MWI have been shown to be circular
But Copenhagen is no better at deriving the Born Rule nor is any
other quantum interpretation although Gleason's Theorem says that
if the quantum wave function is related to probability then the
square of the absolute value is the only one that doesn't produce
contradictions. So if you're going to have a probability rule
involving the wave function its got to be the Born Rule, the
function cubed or anything else just won't do. But the wave function
itself is 100% deterministic so why involve probability at all?
By invoking the first person indeterminacy ...
I don't have a very good answer to that nor does anybody else,
but the Many Worlds people have made a better stab at it than most:

Like this paper illustrate rather well, assuming the Wave.
If we assume Digital Mechanism in cognitive science, the wave itself
must be retrieved from the logic of computations (sigma_sentences).
The logic of yes/no computations provides the quantization necessary
for that, and this confirms the existence of a very general form of
Gleason theorem operating in (very elementary) Arithmetic.
