It’s turning into a bit of a grift now. So many crypto agility “consultants “ popping up with their slop graphics. Never mind the fact that even if a relevant quantum computer is built it will still cost the user millions of dollars to break each RSA key pair…

I dont neccesarily think it would cost millions per key pair. Hard to say with the technology so immature, but it seems like the sort of thing with huge upfront costs but low marginal costs. Once you have a QC you dont have to build a new one for the next key pair.
