> Yeah I get it, it's dumb when the president of BofA is talking about how QC is "the next big thing", I know it's not coming Soon^TM, but saying "we will never have a quantum computer because the current ones suck" has the same energy as "the world doesn't need more than 5 computers" imo.

From the outside QC looks looks less like traditional computing (as you're suggesting) and more like cold fusion. There are plenty of hopeful stories and investments but it's hard to tell if it'll ever happen in a meaningful way.
