In contrast, many worlds says basically: There is no collapse. Ever.
The fact that no one has found what triggers collapse yet is to me evidence that Copenhagen is false.
Pilot wave theory on the other hand is, afaiu completely equivalent to many worlds, but less philosophically convincing.
Where many worlds says there is only the wave function, pilot wave says there is a wave function but also the material world. And material world is a sort of "view" of the wave function. Continuously rederived from it. But the interesting thing is, this material world has no causal consequences. All causality stems from the wave function and its evolution. This is the compromise to get same predictions as many worlds.
It' just the same as "no one has found what triggers a split between worlds, and why the physical reality we observe is following this particular one of the many worlds".
What you are claiming is merely the proposition of "hidden variables" aka "local realism", a theory which has been thoroughly rejected by experimental measurements [1,2,3].

> theoretically flawed, based on an interpretation of quantum mechanics needing "parallel worlds"
is patently false. There is nothing in QC that would stop working under the good ole' Copenhagen interpretation.
In fact, if there was even a theoretical possibility that a QC experiment would work only in some QM interpretations, they would no longer be interpretations, but falsifiable hypotheses.
