It wouldn’t just be that some models of reality acknowledge your existence and others don’t; it would mean that you are nothing more than a fuzzy heuristic concept in someone else’s model, and that if they switched models, you would no longer exist even in that limited sense.
Or in a cascade of your own successive models, including of the cascade.
Or an incentive to keep using that model rather than to switch to another one. The models are made up, but the incentives are real. (To whatever extent the thing subject to the incentives is.)
Not that I’m agreeing, but some clever ways to formulate almost your objection could be built around the wording “The mind is in the mind, not in reality”.

Crap. I had not thought of quines in reference to simulationist metaphysics before.
