Your critique of MWI as "bad taste" because of its proliferation of
worlds is understandable, but for me, collapse is far stranger and
less intuitive.
But the "collapse" is still there for you in MWI. As far as anything
you can observer or experience or measure a single possibility occurs
and this is explained by the action of decoherence splitting your world
away from the other possibilities. The only difference is whether you
imagine those other worlds as existing or you say that probabilities
mean one is realized and the other's are not. If /you don't say that/
then you will have trouble saying what those probabilities refer to.
