Yes, and that’s exactly the problem—Gleason’s theorem doesn’t apply to two-dimensional Hilbert spaces, which means it doesn’t universally derive the Born rule. So if MWI fails for not deriving the Born rule, then standard QM faces the same issue unless you introduce additional postulates.

Branch counting doesn’t work, but my example isn’t branch counting—it’s asymmetric duplication, where observer distribution follows measure,
Observer distribution is only one observer per branch; the observers can't see each other.  So N observers implies N branches.  It's mathematically equivalent to branch counting.
