>Why does no one talk about Many-Worlds?

Because it is metaphysics: it generates no predictions that are not generated by some other interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Every interpretation of QM is "metaphysics" in this sense.

(Anything that produces different predictions is something more than, or at least other than, an interpretation of QM.)

I agree completely! Instead of trying to "interpret" quantum mechanics philosophically, we should either:

A) Accept that the quantum reality is real and the classical one is not, and adjust our preconceptions, OR

B) Look for a deeper physics.
