That isn't as reassuring as it seems. It may be that Schnorr could "destroy RSA", but that the computing requirements are still beyond what a researcher could have access to, but are within the abilities of a large corporation or nation-state. An example is SHA-1. We have known it was broken for some time, but it took Google's massive compute power to actually produce a real world collision.
