It is only a question of the nature of that existence, if it is an existence we can conceptualize in everyday terms. So what if it isn't? That hardly makes them any less real. They are just so different from what we experience in the macro world that mathematics is the only tool we have to precisely describe them. So what?
That whole wave particle duality can be a bit disconcerting, but I agree. I see particles as a collection of phenomena and behaviors which we associate under the label "particle". I'm not 100% sure what else one would want.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
