Those are QM techs, not "MW techs". I do however think that if
more people become familiar with QM they will be more likely to accept the
MWI.

Here's your logical argument:
Given A, B will seem more likely.
Therefore everyone will believe C.
It seems to me that you are missing a step there.
Especially since NOT C is obviously true regardless of B.
Arguments about QS will be pointless because only a few crackpots
will believe in it even if everyone believes the MWI.
