As discussed upthread, this is all philosophy. The popular interpretations of quantum mechanics are all experimentally equivalent, so we need to use elegance, intuitiveness, troubling-ness, etc to choose between them (and these can be highly personal).

EDIT: After re-reading your comment I think I'm agreeing with you here.

You can also use the `operational non-interpretation', and just use the math to calculate without worrying about what it `means'.

(That's pretty close to the spirit of the Copenhagen interpretation, though.)
