We already have quantum computers, at this point that’s not new physics it’s engineering.
And if the well established frameworks don’t settle your thirst for understanding quantum mechanics, thats about philosophy not physics.

Well ... no. We have several interpretations of QM, one of which has been dominant for most of the last century. But the other interpretations have been getting deeper looks due to things that the current interpretation "hand waves" (particle wave duality, etc.)
We are generally willing to accept the interpretation, as long as we don't look to closely at it. Once we do, we have to start asking questions of nature as to which (set of) interpretation(s) are more likely correct. As in provides an understandable model, and provides correct calculation capability for predicting features given experiments.
