So

Let's say I drop a bowling ball in the middle of my bed.

Then I drop a golf ball near where the bowling ball is at.

Naturally the golf ball will starting rolling down towards the bowling ball because the weight of the bowling ball made an imbalance in the bed.

This is also how more or less how gravity works for planetary bodies, no?

I am not impressed. Such a "mysterious" force can be seen in such mundane situations here on earth. Seems lame.

Well, in some way, yes.

That's not "how it works", it's a simple model that allows us to more easily understand a very complex idea.
