article goes on to state that gravitational pull effects surrounding objects without touching them, you know, like how we already know every fucking planet works?

Oh, and Casimir cavities.
Also in the material sciences metamaterials have special properties precisely because of how the molecular structure manipulates quantum forces. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09939-8
QM is still the best theory for semiconductors and a lot of semiconductor improvement happens by applying quantum physics.
The important part to recognize is that this is a part of QM that doesn't involve entanglement or wave function collapse, but definitely relies heavily on quantum tunnelling. All of this is well documented by the primary literature in the field.
Then he continued and explained how a junction transistor worked with the same equations!
No QM required.
I'm sure you can find classical equations that model some aspects of p-n junctions but you're ultimately going to see that p-n junction physics is literally quantum physics of tunneling electrons in atomic solids.
Yeah, that doesn't mean that diodes don't work in a fundamentally quantum way. There are a number of details about diodes (for example, the emitted frequency of light in an LED) that are very specifically due to quantum energy transitions of electrons in outer shells. It doesn't get any more quantum physics than that.
LEDs weren't discussed that day.
Sure. After all, natural sciences from physics to biology used to be called natural philosophy until not so long ago.
> subatomic particles can feel the influence of this warping even if they aren’t subject to gravitational forces
So I guess they are talking about particles without mass.
