The many world's interpretation is based on the assumption that both the observed system and the observer is modeled by a wavefunction. In that case observation is entanglement, which seems weird to us, but which makes perfect logical sense.

Other interpretations of quantum mechanics start with the assumption that the world is fundamentally like our naive experience leads us to think of it as. Therefore when we observe something, we couldn't really be thrown into a superposition of states, each of which observed a different thing and which cannot meaningfully interact due to quantum mechanical principles. If we can't be thrown into such a superposition, then there must be some sort of underlying reality, or quantum collapse, or other weirdness that is not explained by QM.

All of the weirdness of interpretations other than many worlds can be understood as the conflict between how they would like to understand the world (there is a reality that happened), and how quantum mechanics described things.

All of the weirdness of the many worlds interpretation can be understood as, "We can't perceive the process of quantum superposition, so it seems really, really weird to us."
