Pilot wave theory is simplest and most obvious interpretation IMO. We already accept the Higgs field that permeates all space-time (and predictions of that theory were verified by discovery of Higgs Boson) so why can't there be waves in that or another omnipresent medium that these particles are "riding" on? These double slit, wave-particle dualities, and all the other bizarre notions (apart from non-locality which both predict) vanish with the pilot wave theory. Never understood why Copenhagen interpretation has so much mindshare except it's more sensational, controversial nature and the personalities that advocated for it.
