Honest question: Do physicists studying these problems genuinely believe that these experiments show some kind of conflict or paradox, or is this just a case of people writing clickbait articles?

I'm not a physicist and only dug deeply enough into the topic to understand the basic quantum algorithms for factoring and discrete logarithm, but it seems to me that there is very obviously no conflict. It's just that the "observer of the observer" observes a meta-reality that contains all possible realities observed by the "observer". There doesn't seem anything strange about this if you just don't insist on "measurement" having a special physical meaning and accept the universal wave function. But maybe there's a twist I'm missing.
