It's not the same question, and that's the point of this article. Gravity acts equally on all your particles, so it doesn't cause any disruption (other than that gradient.) Magnetism affects different particles differently, particularly moving ones, as in electrons. The article says how a strong field compresses and deforms electron orbitals, to the point where covalent bonds fail. Field strength alone causes that, not gradient.
