If it's tireing for you imagine the scientists who dedicated significant amount of their lives to figure out what explains this baffling observation.

Another problem with MOND is that no matter how you tune it, it can't explain the Bullet cluster for example.

Sure, but a counterexample of one or two could be literally anything. After all, conventional dark matter theories don't do a good job of explaining why there just so happens to be galaxies with highly-deviant clumps of dark matter.

If the bullet cluster is a great counter example for MOND, then conventional dark matter is highly opportunistic curve fitting (which doesn't mean it's not correct).
