Does the Bell inequality confirms the quantum mechanics? If answer is yes, why the violation of Bell inequality is more famous?

It doesn't confirm QM, but it does claim that no theory with Local Hidden Variables can match the predictions of Quantum Mechanics. The only theory to survive the move from locality to Non-Locality with their Hidden Variable(s) intact is the de Broglie-Bohm Interpretation, which is empirically on the same footing as QM for now.

Of course, SQM violates Bell's Inequalities, soooo... ?! Who knows.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
