Hi Daniel

The multiverse (MWI) theory is much disputed at present.

For an alternative opinion, some criticisms are -
The infinity of universes constantly being created cannot be tested or
observed by us, so they must remain speculative.
If every action creates a new universe, are humans the only ones
creating new universes? What about the infinity of alien life around
us? Are they also creating infinities of universes?
Exactly what constitutes an 'observation' of the collapse of the wave
function to create new universes? Can only humans 'observe' or can any
lifeform create universes? If a dog trips over a ball, does that
create a new universe? And so on....

MWI appears to be creating constantly increasing infinities of
universes. That's not simplifying, that is multiplying complexities.
