Pilot wave theory comes from Bohm, he had the problem that he was accused of
being a communist, and so that had bad effect on his career in US, his student
Vigier had similar problems, and Myron Evans who followed on from Vigier has
similar problems. It was part of Einstein's unified field theory research
program to combine (non Copenhagen interpretation) quantum physics with
relativity. My website dealing with talks on unified field theory at:
http://unifiedfieldtheory.co.uk/
One of the problems as I perceive it is that in Physics education they teach
students to believe making math mistakes is the way to do things.

Continued investigation of the EM-drive may be the crack in physics that
finally shows that conventional quantum mechanics is an arcane, obsolete, and
incomplete formulation of the physics of small matter. Just because quantum
mechanics mostly works, doesn't mean it is a good formulation of the problem.
It is important to distinguish the Copenhagen interpretation of QM from the
results of the mathematical calculations. I understand that many physicists
consider the mathematical calculations to be the essential part of QM and the
Copenhagen interpretation to be something that is up for debate and a function
of personal tastes. I gather that the results of the QM calculations are the
effectively the same in almost all cases, whether you're considering standard
calculations or ones based on pilot waves. When the topic of the Copenhagen
interpretation and pilot waves has come up for discussion, the challenge that
has been raised is to produce a case where an experiment will distinguish
between the two. Without an experiment to sort between the two descriptions,
the selection of interpretation is perhaps a philosophical/esthetic one.
There are a few corner cases where the pilot wave approach will yield different
results. Perhaps the EM drive is tapping into one of them.
