So far as I can tell, the fact that

"particles" are just what we call particular kinds of excitations in quantum fields

doesn't in any way answer, or obviate, or otherwise demystify the question of

why the electric charge associated with one sort of "particle" should be exactly 3x the electric charge associated with another.

So your comment is not only gratuitously rude, it's also either (1) wrong or (2) missing some essential explanation.
