I agree with this. It is an easy exercice to show that comp rules out
classical physics or more generally any single universe physical
theory. It predicts that if we look at ourself including our most
probable environment close enough (= at a lower level than our
substitution level) then we must be confronted with a notion of first
person (plural) indeterminacy. many weirdness of QM are easily
explained, although not yet all, to be sure.

This is what we are trying to explain without putting the mind-body
problem under the rug. Comp illustrates (to say the least) the
non-obviousness of such notion. It is hard to take them fro granted.
Especially where simpler explanations arise from computer science and
self-reference.

As Quentin said, the theory (comp and /or Everett) explained exactly
why it is hard to have the experience of many world. A fist person
cannot be first person aware of any of its third person duplication.
Only intellectually can she imagine it.
