>Yeah, but also the industry knows for DECADES that RSA will likely be broken eventually.

Interesting. Reference?

It's generally accepted for almost all crypto protocols that it's going to be broken eventually (a few rare cases are provably secure, one-time pads and not much else).

If nothing else, quantum computers should break RSA in particular (the algorithm is already known and just waiting for hardware) and the writing has been on the wall there for a long time.

Just like it was generally accepted that god exists. Those claims are of similar strength.

Quantum computers with enough qubits do not exist and it's absolutely not obvious whether they will exist at all.

Cryptographically protocols have attacks designed against them all the time.
