Everett's idea is more properly a theory. It explains the phenomenon

As Deutsch says, we wouldn't call dinosaurs an interpretation of
fossils when they are the very thing that explains the appearance of
the fossils. So it is with Everett and collapse.
I agree. if people read Everett they will see that he does not talk
about a new interpretation of QM, but on a new formulation of QM,
which is simply the SWE.
I consider that "MW interpretation" is already a misleading statement.
Everett proposed a new theory, which is exactly Copenhagen minus the
collapse.
Then Everett explains in that theory where the beliefs in collapse
comes from.
Comp does the same, and explains, constructively, where the belief in
the universal wave (or matrix or path) come from.
The conceptual progresses are the following
1)
- SWE
- Collapse
- Dualist theory of mind (unintelligible as such)
2)
- SWE
- Comp
3)
- Comp.
