Quantum mechanics doesn't imply at all that everything possible is actual. That is a misconception.
I do agree that it makes sense, but not because of what quantum mechanics says.

Yes, it doesn't imply, but parallel universes is one of possible interpretations.
If you are referring to the many-worlds interpretation, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. There is no implication in many-worlds that every conceivable world exists as a branch of the actual wave function.

The math does imply infinite universes. There are many physicists who believe that all these worlds do exist.

I fail to see how this doesn't lead to "every possible world". Maybe some edge cases are ruled out, but it seems to imply every possible world as far as what that means to the imagination.
