Kimi agreed with you, but did not suggest superdeterminism as the alternative. Kimi discussed the problems with MWI and concluded that at present, we don't know how to solve the measurement problem. We await further research on this mystery.  :)

I agree with that conclusion: we don't know for sure if it's MWI,
superdeterminism, or something else.  The discussion was about what
each of us finds more likely, and why.

The latter.  Notice that one of your questions contains the assertion,
"So MWI explains more, while assuming less, making it preferable by
Occam's razor."  (Among other such statements in your questions.)  If
you tell it that MWI is most likely true, it will usually conclude
that MWI is most likely true.
