Good point. Quantum physics is providing a convient argument as to why reality may not be entirely objective. However, if reality is subjective then all the phenomena from quantum physics is just a manifestation of your own beliefs, so anyone who truly believes in subjective reality can't use quantum physics to back up their claim, since this would be hypocritical.
