You have an unusual definition of simple.
If you still don't understand, consider this: MWI only works if photons are kept in a coherent superposition of states.
Supposedly this means each universe defines a state.
But... the photons have to be isolated from their respective universes. Otherwise coherence is broken and you no longer have your coherent superposition.
Given that, what's the rationale for inventing an entire universe around a quantum particle if the math only works if you keep that particle isolated from everything else in that universe?
