You know that qubit processors already exist, right? This is like going "yeah right, we can factor large primes if we had a 4.2GHz processor. So, magical processing power, right?" in the 386 era. We may not have 13k qubit systems today, but we do have qubit systems already. Expecting us to get better at them is pretty reasonable.

Not sure it is reasonable. Quantum systems don't scale that way. In order to get the quantum speedup you need to be able to maintain the larger quantum state which gets a lot harder the larger these systems get. This is like saying we already have 7nm process today for silicon so expecting us to get better, like 1nm, 10 angstrom... or we have a plane that goes 2000 miles per hour, expecting 10kmph, 100kmph, 2000kmph... physics doesn't work like that.
