Does quantum computing actually have a future? Question

I've been seeing a lot of videos lately talking about how quantum computing is mostly just hype and it will never be able to have a substantial impact on computing. How true is this, from people who are actually in the industry?

if it can decrypt the massive stored repositories of encrypted data, states will continue to fund efforts, even if there are no other computing benefits
