If it isn’t falsifiable then it’s not science, period.

Which is why QM interpretations are considered to be part of Physics philosophy as you can see the link to the weighty writeup on the Copenhagen Interpretation is part of Stanford's Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

But all interpretations are part of philosophy and are currently not falsifiable. Not just the ones someone may not like.

And just because it's not science doesn't necessarily mean it can't be right. No harm in exploring ideas.
