Fair enough. The idea of calling QM 'frequentist' really stretches the reason for using that term under anything but an explicit collapse interpretation. Maybe it would be more of a third way -

  • Frequentism would be that the world is itself stochastic.
  • Fractionism would be that the world takes both paths and we will find ourselves in one.
  • Bayes gets to keep its definition.
