The problem with dark matter is that it is a bit too easy to predict where it is. That's why so many people are looking for galaxies without dark matter. We sometimes find them, but I am not sure if there is an instance where we have confirmed that it is not a fluke of observation.
The reason why it is a problem is that if you can reliably predict where dark matter is, then you can turn these predictions into equations and get away with dark matter as a form of matter. That's the idea behind modified gravity.
