Would be more correct to say that everyone knows the model doesn’t work at a very large scale (nor does it do at very small one by the way) and everyone wants to find a solution because that would be a major breakthrough.

No one is opposed to a better model by the way. MOND is not universally embraced as such because it doesn’t actually get ride of dark matter so there is little point in switching.

Amusingly I think a large part of why some people are so upset about dark matter is that they don’t really understand what a model is and believe that experimental science seeks to convey the truth which is an interesting faith but has little philosophical basis. I generally blame the fact that these points are poorly explained during most people education and most scientists are reluctant to talk about that to no lose the tenuous support of the general population.

Well MOND gets rid of a lot of the dark matter, and is more consistent with observations. I think most physicists disregard it for now because it is not as fully developed a theory outside of cosmology.
