The contention seems to be that the Copenhagen interpretation elevates wave function collapse from mathematical artifact to real phenomenon.

Sure, but the Copenhagen interpretation is basically rejected as absurdist and is unnecessary for the exact same reason. It's also trying to give a physical explanation for an artifact of one of the many mathematical representations of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger's Cat is a reductio ad-absurditum to disprove the Copenhagen interpretation!
