I'm confused about this. The articles notes how hot the center of Jupiter would be "While our solar system’s gas giants are far from the sun, the core of a gas giant is likely to be incredibly hot–Jupiter’s is estimated at around 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit."
Yet this article notes liquid Hydrogen towards the core and ice in the core.

The triple point diagram https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/hydrogen-d_1419.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/hydrogen-d_1419.html suggests temperatures in this range would not yield anything solid or liquid.
