You might argue that the Born rule is an extra postulate dictating how experience binds to the physical universe, particularly if you believe in a no-collapse version of quantum mechanics, such as many-worlds.

Yes, if you use a no-collapse interpretation, you will need to specify what sort of structure we are within the universe. However, this is a fact about us.

If you use a collapse interpretation, then of course you will also need a postulate for it, for reasons which should be utterly obvious.
