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.
