Are there really serious people who disagree that, e.g., the irreversibility of measurements makes sense because they’re events that increase entanglement entropy? Genuinely curious who they are.
Actually, now that I think about it, there are probably some philosophers who say they disagree. I would not count the ones I vaguely recall as talking about MWI, though. It’s like the joke “if you believe that beavers hibernate during the winter in their lodges, you have a false belief about beavers. If you believe that beavers are 600 pound carnivores with white fur who live in the arctic, you do not have beliefs about beavers at all.”
Maximize/minimize the rate of entropy production. “Branching” is in many ways a metaphor for increasing entanglement entropy.
There is no one theory of MWI and therefore no agreement on the branching mechanism.

Different theories are different theories , not the exact opposite of your favourite theory.
