The reason why it would follow is precisely the point of my rhetorical
question above. If you take the wave function seriously, then you take
seriously that qubits really do exist in a superposition of states,
and this explains the exponential increase in computational power as
you add qubits to the systems in certain configurations. I guess you
can accept superposition and deny many worlds, but I would say that it
is quite an awkward move.

Being in a superposition is just a matter choosing the basis.  If it's a
pure state then there's some basis in which it is not a superposition.
And if it's not in a superposition, then you can choose another basis in
which it is.
