But isn't it true that magnetic fields are quantized and that
superconductors are 'sensitive' to single quantum changes??? Does
this not justify some sort of 'reification'

(I've got my Nomex undies on!!!!!!)

An atom's angular momentum is also quantized. How should we reify it?
(Where do you get Nomex ?)
