$\begingroup$ Upvoted because in general I agree, but small note - "the standard model" is overkill for explaining the double slit experiment. All you need for the double slit experiment is the underlying principle of all quantum field theories (including the standard model), which is quantum mechanics $\hat{U}(t)|\text{state}\rangle=e^{-iEt/\hbar}|\text{state}\rangle$. Whether or not interference happens doesn't depend on the existence of the W+ boson and the top quark! $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Agree completely @AXensen. I didn't think that nuance would affect what the OP takes away. Basically, all interpretations already explain the DS behavior precisely because it is part and parcel of QM (as you say). Usually a shout out to Bohmian Mechanics is intended to explain quantum nonlocality in some manner. However, that really isn't a factor in Double Slit experiment. $\endgroup$
