> Quantum uncertainty is a fundamental consequence of the underlying physics, it has nothing to do with influence from the measurement process.
If you can prove that, your Nobel prize awaits. :)
The truth is that nobody knows why there is quantum uncertainty. The common belief is that the uncertainty is "real", but non-local hidden variable theories have not been proven to be impossible.

(In a recent survey of physicists, 47% favoured explicitly real uncertainty - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.00676.pdf)
