To take this as good news is to evidence a worrying lack of techno-political criticality.

Recent history gives us no indication quantum computing will not be rampantly abused, to the same ends of capturing and consolidating even more power in the hands of tech oligarchy and political elite. Any hope that it will be employed under strict regulatory controls to the betterment of people and planet is, at the present time, completely baseless.
