Unfalsifiable isn't the point. Non-explanatory is. All those other classes of theory have good (hard to vary) explanations.
Human minds are universal in the sense that 94% can learn basic arithmetic, but not in the sense that they would develop similar ideas and behavioral traits when confronted with the same environment. Most people will also not debug their basic epistemology in their lifetime.

You're saying 94% of human minds are universal? Universal, in the relevant sense here, means 100% of people can learn 100% of things they choose to take an interest in. People won't all have the same ideas. That too is a consequence of universality (coupled with creativity).

That is not true. For instance, like ~20% of all people, I have aphantasia, which limits my development as an artist. And if you continue to prefer nice beliefs over true beliefs, it will limit your development as a scientist or philosopher.
