Obviously I have no idea what it's is, but I wouldn't be shocked if the ultimate explanation is our models and/or observations were a bit off, and dark matter is as real as the ether was.

Maybe. It's just a term that is used to explain gravitational differences that can't be explained by the amount of stars and matter in the galaxy. Something is going on there so we call that unknown "dark matter". May not ever explain what it is.

This is almost certainly the case. Our equations don't match reality, so we propose a form of matter that cannot be interacted with in any way and whose only effect on the universe is to neatly and exactly fill in the gap in said equations? Yeah... ok. That sounds awfully convenient to me.
There will eventually be another paradigm shift which will explain away dark matter the way relativity explained away the ether and "light tiredness."
