> The flaw here is that by understanding more deeply what's going on with this analogy, we can learn so much more about the cosmos, like explaining the motion of planets etc etc. By not seeking an interpretation of quantum mechanics' observations, we limit ourselves.

But the sun being the center of the universe is a physical theory. It makes testable predictions. We can learn something about the universe from such a theory. On the other hand, most of the interpretations of quantum mechanics are metaphysical theories closer to religion than science. They do not make testable predictions or allow us to learn about the cosmos. They may be interesting thought experiments but they teach us as much about quantum mechanics as debating heaven and hell teach us about death.
