I think you've got a good point. Also, I personally am heavily involved in Quantum computing research and I can tell you that current research is focused more on the next generation of quantum computing (topological quantum computing), most of the research done on so called first generation QC was done in the 90's/early 2000's. I wouldn't doubt that the gov/military already has there hands on a powerful first generation QC.
