Say we have all the empirical evidence from 19th-century science prior to the observation of the wavelike diffraction of matter particles, plus 21st-century math and theory to construct an alternative explanation.

Whatever rules you make up must be consistent with macroscopic observation, though. So if you postulate that matter is formed from the flesh of a dead god, you still need to prove that it doesn’t need to quiver.
Why would it need to quiver?
To explain any macroscopic effects that necessarily depend on matter waves. If there are any. Which is my question.
Superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates are both macroscopic phenomena that result from coherent matter waves.
Maybe there aren’t any in our conceptual universe.
To contain the arrows of time and entropy, obviously.
