I have always been skeptical that there are huge quantities of this mysterious dark matter out there, some form of MOND seems to be more likely to me.
Indeed. MOND has a drop of finical investment that Dark Matter is getting. That said, I do feel JWST continues to help put focus on the two and the more MOND enters debates, the more it will propagate. MOND, at the very least, shows us there's a way to reliably predict and fit observations at galaxy regimes and some versions even purpose a consistent cosmological structure formation on all scales in relativistic extensions of MOND.
