Because "about a decade away" is not "actually here and practically usable," and there's no guarantee that it ever will be (quantum computing has been "just around the corner" for *how* many decades, now?) Also, because lazy, sloppy coding is a terrific way to *waste* all that increased horsepower (it's one of the primary reasons why our computers today aren't really hundreds of times more responsive than they were fifteen years ago, despite benchmarking at hundreds of times the horsepower than computers from that time.)
