There are bosons that carry charges and/or mass like the weak bosons and the gluons. There is nothing in principle about bosons that would make them incapable of building logic gates out of them.

Some advanced civilization (future us) may use them. Even photons interact with each other a little bit due to QED.

For sure, you can if you want to. And if you pull it off there are some advantages, which the article describes.

It's just harder.

I wonder if it's just harder for us, now. It used to be hard for humans to make fire: nowadays you have match stick or lighter technology to make fire just like that. I wonder if we as humanity will be able to build the technological harness around light just as well.

There's also composite bosons like cooper pairs which are just made up of two electrons.
