That question does not really make sense. In every branch, there is 'you' asking about why is being in that particular branch.

With the coin flip, it’s understood that the probability distribution is not reality. It’s just a way of approximating reality without having to model all the things that would explain our observations.
With QM we have equations that predict probability distributions, and there is debate about whether reality is literally a distribution of possible states, or if it’s more like the coin flip random variable.
But you had just explained why:
