Quantum mechanics is simply a set of equations that describe the universe. Whether or not those equations make sense or are interpretable is irrelevant, as our capability to understand intuitively is only based on the types of interactions we observe every day.
To ask somebody what interpretation they prefer is akin to asking a mathematician how they interpret the reality of ZFC they prefer. It's interesting, but ultimately pointless, because it has more to do with our ability to interpret than with the real meaning of the statements. To that end, Copenhagen makes the important point - "Shut up and calculate".
That's how people used to view "imaginary" numbers...and the field of complex analysis laid dormant for 200 years. When a valid geometric interpretation was found that backed up the algebraic existence of these numbers, the field blossomed.
We're humans, we can't understand equations without knowing what they "mean."

No, it doesn't. It adds a few assumptions on top of that. That's the point of the whole debate. To be fair, the many-worlds interpretation also does that.
