Some exponential breakthrough is needed to get to the green or red lines, where quantum computers can be used for chemistry or to break older encryption like RSA.
Don’t forget that your data is forever, though.
For example, there are a lot of intercepted diplomatic messages that are just waiting for quantum computers to get better. At that point, state secrets will be revealed.
The same applies for your pgp encrypted messages to share cat memes on dread.
The switch to quantum-resistant crypto is still needed.
