I think you missed the “broken” part. A lot of simple cryptographic hash functions have been broken. There is a community of people with some semblance of credibility that believe it is just a matter of time for SHA-256. The creation of SHA-3 wasn’t entirely for no reason. I’m not saying it will happen but it is plausible. The question is what is the effect of that happening to bitcoin.
