Trust me, "quantum computer, room temperature super conductors, (closer to) human level AI" get plenty of funding to the point where people don't even know where to put money.

If you asked oven engineers 70 years ago to build the most efficient oven they can they probably would have build something that is 2 or 3 percent better than what was currently on the market. But nobody of those oven engineers would have build a microwave.
Hence, in order to solve the engineering problems of tomorrow we have to do blue shot fundamental research today because the solution to many problems is not always obvious.
