But the hypothesis of dark matter fits all of the evidence, while no alternative theory of gravity comes close. That's what makes dark matter so attractive to physicists.

I'm not shunning the idea, I've worked on alternative explanations myself (with no concrete result), but for the moment we remain convinced that dark matter is the better theory.
