A Recent Article claims that a paper's findings show "collapse" in real-world environments. Is this serious?

Hello!
I found this article from phys.org, titled "Microscopic mechanism of 'quantum collapse' in real-world environments uncovered for the first time". It took me a while to read it, even more to read the actual paper in Advance Science (which, admittedly, I didn't get), but, I don't see how there is evidence of collapse as a physical mechanism. What do you think?

I also was wondering if you consider that these findings strengthen or weaken any particular interpretation. Thanks in advance! I always enjoy reading the discussions in these forums! :)
