Copenhagen breaks every physical symmetry we have

It doesn't, except in the minds of confused people assigning ontological significance to a calculational prescription. No interpretation out there has more predictive power than "1. Do unitary evolution, 2. Apply Born rule".

If you only consider it a calculational prescription and not an ontologically real thing, then you've totally just accepted MWI!
