Why Bohm and Only Bohm?

It is often claimed that there are three “realist” versions of quantum mechanics: the de Broglie–Bohm theory or Bohmian mechanics, the spontaneous collapse theories and the many worlds interpretation. We will explain why the two latter proposals suffer from serious defects coming from their ontology (or lack thereof) and that the many worlds interpretation is unable to account for the statistics encoded in the Born rule. The de Broglie–Bohm theory, on the other hand, has no problem of ontology and accounts naturally for the Born rule.
