I think we're in agreement there (though IMO it's highly nonobvious that noncontextuality+POVMs automatically get you the Born rule, so I don't think it's "cheating" to assume that--obviously any set of axioms that let you derive Born will have such a property!). I was mostly saying, I don't think MWI helps us understand where the probabilities come from any more than any other interpretation--you need something more. And if you can't identify where the probabilities come from, then saying your theory is "deterministic" rings fairly hollow to me.
