Why interpret it as either? The double-slit experiment can be given an entirely classical explanation. Such extravagances are not necessary. As the old saying goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." We should not be considering non-classical explanations unless they are genuinely necessary, and the only become necessary in contextual cases, which the double-slit experiment is certainly not such a case.

As the old saying goes “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

It may be convenient to look at classical interpretations but "The intuition we evolved to interact with macro systems is also applicable to the micro level" is in itself an extraordinary claim.
