Maybe whoever will break current state of encryption landscape will also gain privilege to build new and benefit from it?

In my opinion if breaking AES is to serve military (and hunt for secrets) then it would be done in secret.

As I understand it, AES isn't particularly susceptible to quantum computing (similar to classical computing).

Why do you think quantum computing could help break AES?
