There have yet to evolve practical applications for current quantum computers. No one cares about Java anymore, beyond legacy support. They bought RedHat with their massive reserve of capital from more successful times. IBM is still in business because they can build on massive reserves from the time where they literally created the market for commercial computing. That was indeed influential. Now they slowly burn those reserves and have a crackhead sales team that knows how to sell mainframes and subsequently suck those customers dry. The new generation of graduates has no idea what IBM does, let alone what a mainframe is. New talent for maintaining Cobol codebases is so rare to come by, that they pay the Linux foundation to offer free courses on Cobol. IBM's success is a relict of the past. It will die when the last guy that knows how to maintain Cobol dies. Good riddance.
