That crutch is a legacy of the classic formulation of quantum mechanics, which divides the universe into "observers" who make measurements and particles that are measured.

"I am one of those who believes that the quantum will remain mysterious in the sense that if the future brings any changes in the basic formulation of quantum mechanics, I suspect our ordinary intuition will be left even farther behind".
One might, of course, want more than empirical faithfulness from a satisfactory formulation of quantum mechanics.
Hugh Everett III's relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics is an attempt to solve the quantum measurement problem by dropping the collapse dynamics from the standard von Neumann-Dirac formulation of quantum mechanics.
This is why the collapse dynamics (rule 4b) is needed in the standard formulation of quantum mechanics.
Bell showed that any hidden-variables formulation of quantum mechanics must be nonlocal, as, indeed, Bohmian mechanics is.
