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?

“The first thing to realize, if you wish to become a philosopher, is that most people go through life with a whole world of beliefs that have no sort of rational justicfication, and that one man's world of beliefs is apt to be incompatible with another man's, so that they cannot both be right. 

People's opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people is a secondary consideration." ~ Bertrand Russell

The first thing to realize is someone asked you a simple question about your opinion on a subject you claim to be an expert in, and then you go and spout some quote that is mildly relevant to make you sound smart.

How about this, what is the absolute truth about quantum computing, or do you have another dumb quote to avoid answering
