Now, the challenge for the MWI is to derive apparent collapse and the Born Rule (in the long run) from the approximate description "multiple universes". Also to explain, in what sense this approximation is good enough. The trouble with assuming an actual collapse-with-randomisation is the need for some mechanism for it, as I gather you too remark, in other words. I admit though that, starting with collapse-with-randomisation, it is easy to explain "FAPP". Probabilities are whatever measures satisfy Kologorov's axioms or their > logical equivalent.
