That is incorrect. Schrodinger'sequation, the thing that
generates the complex wave function, says nothing,
absolutely nothing, about that wave function collapsing,
So if you don't like philosophical paradoxes but still
want to use Schrodinger's equation because it always
gives correct results, you only have 2 options:
1) You can stick on bells and whistles to Schrodinger's
equation to get rid of those other worlds that you find
so annoying even though there's no experimental evidence
that they are needed.

That is absolutely correct.If you're an engineer and are only
interested in finding the correct answer to a given problem then
Shut Up And Calculate works just fine.MWIis only needed if you're
curious and want to look under the hood to figure out what could
possibly make the quantum realm behave so weirdly.
Except that in spite of many attempts the application of the Born
rule isn't found under the hood.
Is it found in Copenhagen?
Yes, because Copenhagen explicitly included it and didn't pretend the
the Schroedinger equation was everything.
