I suspect I’m not alone in pausing around the statement:

I’m curious… what would need to be true to make this statement wrong?

We'd need to know how to build a useful quantum computer, find a useful algorithm to run on it (factoring large primes lacks broad consumer appeal), and use this demand to fund research into a way to reduce manufacturing and running costs to reasonable levels.

Alternatively we all move in to science labs.
