For this reason, I significantly prefer the Bohm interpretation over the many-worlds interpretation
Preferences do not make science. Philosophy, for sure.
Odds are, once mesoscopic quantum effects become accessible to experiment, we will find that none of the interpretational models reflect the observations well. I would put 10:1 odds that the energy difference of entangled states cannot exceed about one Planck mass, a few micrograms. Whether there is a collapse of some sort, hidden variables, superdeterminism, who knows.
Anyway, in general I find this approach peculiar, picking a model based on emotional reasoning like “I like indexicality”, or “String theory is pretty”. It certainly can serve as a guide of what to put one’s efforts in as a promising research area, but it’s not a matter of preference, the observations will be the real arbiter.
