> The more plausible explanation behind the delayed choice quantum eraser involves Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which states that you cannot obtain position and momentum to a high degree of accuracy at the same time.

This is not what's going on: uncertainty principles are a generic feature of wave mechanics, quantum or classical. Delayed choice quantum eraser experiments are just an ordinary case of entanglement.

I strongly suggest you work through a quantum physics textbook first. Griffiths is a standard choice: the interpretational aspects leave a lot to be desired, but that's unfortunately unavoidable in introductory texts. You're right that physics youtubers have no idea what they're talking about - but frankly if that surprises you then you're really not ready to filter out the garbage on your own.
