MOND is not a cosmological theory unlike LCDM, and it isn't relativistic. So we should not expect it to cover the range of things that LCDM tries to.
It's just a tweak to Newtonian gravity, which surprisingly matches observation very well, and has accurately predicted quite a few things in the regime it operates in, before they were observed.
The fact it works so well in the areas it does apply to is the reason that science hasn't given up on it yet (regardless of what pop science or lay people think).
