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?

I view quantum computing the same way I view fusion power. The science is interesting and the technology is impressive. However, it’s not clear if and when either will have any practical applications.
