People using quantum computers for random uncorrelated 50/50 bitstrings makes me unreasonably angry (disclaimer: employer in profile, this is my personal opinion). At best, it's just a test of how well we've got the calibration dialed in, how isolated the qubits are, etc. Fine as a test "does the machine do what its manufacturer claims," but otherwise a tragic waste of resources. Hardware RNGs can beat any quantum computer on bandwidth and reliability for a few pennies, versus a multimillion dollar behemoth.
That said... as a demo of a stack using quantum cloud compute, it's all in good fun and I shouldn't be a stick in the mud.
