I know you hate establishment, but you're assuming a bit too much malice in the Dark Matter hypothesis. There's a large amount of mass and volume not accounted for, if there's such a large discrepancy in a near air tight model, it's fair for physicists to consider this as the number one possibility, because other options are much more difficult to fit into the current state of physics, or more difficult to experiment with.

It isn't as strict a belief in the same sense as deities or spirits, because they're constantly seeking a method of measure.

You're bothered by the lack of observation of particles, but it's possible for a kind of mass to exist that doesn't interact with the typical physical forces, just gravity, that's a lack of imagination on your part.
