Does it not make any predictions? It states there is no such thing as wavefunction collapse. This means that if you entangle a state with a large system, in theory you could ‘disentangle’ it. Of course, this is no easy feat. But indeed quantum computing to me, is an example of this feat. We can entangle systems on a large scale, then use this feat to make calculations. Inspiration for quantum computing actually came from many worlds.

Many worlds is falsifiable, if you can show wave function collapse actually happens (not just decoherence). I believe that in the not so distant future we will get more and more proof that wave function collapse never happens. Quantum computing at scale to me is an indication that Everett was just right..
