The bullet cluster is atypical: is is a merger scene, and who knows what is going on. Normal looking galaxies have been searched in vain, for some defining feature of Dark Matter, other than rotatational curves which are decidedly non-Newtonian. Looking at a train wreck and saying 'this explains everything' is silly.
