Except that Weak DH only needs one prime - not two. It sounds like the author conflated RSA with DH somehow. It's
very
rare for real in-the-wild RSA keys to share factors (barring stupid errors like Debian's randomization fail).

Not as rare as it should be (see
https://cryptosense.com/blog/more-weak-rsa-keys-in-network-d...
) -- but there are much easier fixes than QKD.

It doesn't.
Also the solution to weak DH is certainly not qkd. It's not using DH with weak parameters.
