Why can’t the Casimir effect be explained with gravity doing its thing?

All theories on the Casimir effect evolve around rather advanced concepts of physics. What tells us that the effect is not simply caused by gravity? Is this idea just nonsense in non-newtonian physics? Or did someone prove that gravity can’t be the cause?

The Casimir Effect is very small but gravity is so incredibly weak it is still negligible here. We have no way to even measure gravity at the scale the Casimir Effect becomes important.
