MWI claims that the SE is everything that is needed for quantum mechanics.
That is obviously false, because the Born rule is also needed to connect
the wave function with experiment. Therefore, Everettians have to derive
the Born rule from the SE, and this has proved to be difficult. Largely
because the Born rule is incompatible with MWI, as I have pointed out.
