The popsci version of Many Worlds is terrible, because it implies that some sort of meta-conservation laws are violated in the creation of all of these universes. (where do all the universes come from?)
This is simply just bad explanation of perfectly reasonable math. This happens all the time with fundamental physics. Unfortunately the bad explanations persist, because coming up with good nuanced metaphors is hard, and they tend to be harder to communicate.
