You're frustrated because it's a bullshit answer based on a lack of understanding of what a superposition of states represents and what quantum computing is calculating. Qbit superpositions represent probability distributions between 1 and 0. And quantum computers calculate probable ranges of correct results of certain types of problems. They can produce these ranges of probable correct results using much less memory and time then it would take a classical computer to calculate similar results. We're talking exponential improvement of using 1 more qbit compared to 1 more classical bit. For example, in 2019, Google used a 53 qbit quantum computer to complete a task in 200 seconds that Google claimed would take 10,000 years to finish with the best known classical computer at the time. (Note that IBM claims that it would only take 2.5 days on their classical computer, but you can see the scale of improvement is huge either way)
