Quantum computing is such an elusive goal that even the company claiming to have the "world's first commercial quantum computer" acknowledged it isn't entirely sure the machine is performing true quantum calculations.
Is there any way you really can be sure, I wonder?
then they shouldn't be claiming something they're unsure of.

I agree.

I'm curious about the technology - it's hard for me to grasp completely.

maybe it's some probability thing, I think a lot of subatomic stuff is.

"We're 95% sure there's quantum computing going on in there!"
