For one, quantum computing may not happen? Like, we're pretty sure it will work, but we aren't actually sure we can make it happen. The closest we've gotten is D-wave and it's still controversial.

The best way to articulate that criticism is to quote me (or at least paraphrase Daniel Lidar) and say:

"We have quantum information processing, but no computers as of yet."

And, that which we already have is so-darned-expensive; that it is less useful than classical computation unless you are building some exotic kind of sensor.
