I see your Wikipedia link and raise you a Nature article..

Summary about how the test equipment of Miller-Urey wasn’t accounted for in the experiment. “It finds that the precise composition of the apparatus housing the experiment is crucial to amino acid formation.”

Nature.com article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-00235-4.pdf




I think you’re misreading the article… the one and only conclusion for the article is that “Miller recreated in his experiments the atmosphere and waters of the primtive Earth. The role of the rocks was hidden in the walls of the reactors.” The article is only saying that other, inorganic, roots of life may have been a part of the origins of life. The ultimate conclusion of abiogenesis are still the same.
