I think you’ll find that multiverse interpretations of quantum mechanics, like all interpretations, are far more popular and important in the press and places like this this in science. Very very few astronomers, cosmologists and physicists are dedicating their working life to something that is broadly considered unfalsifiable. Don’t confuse popular culture and science with the real thing. The most popular interpretation is “shut up and calculate” and will probably remain that for a very long time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand, the multiverse is not observable directly or indirectly. Thus it is not scientifically falsifiable by virtue of not being observable.

  There are a few circumstances that lend themselves to observation, such as looking for characteristic concentric circles in the CMB, but they’ve never been observed. Beyond the few limited cases, you’re right it’s not observable even in principle.
