Pilot wave theory was laughed at for a long time.

Pilot wave theory is isomorphic to non pilot wave theory. It doesn't predict anything new about the world

Its a concrete explanation that matches reality in a more literal sense than stochastic models.

You can model the ocean as a blob of probabilities to handle large scale, but having a causal model is important.

Pilot wave theory has been ridiculed and ignored even when just mentioned by physicists for so long, I suspect its under researched.
