I don't think this is totally accurate.

If you have significantly better quantum computers, you can solve realistic problems, yes.

But what's not being spelled out here is that as far as we know classical computers will still totally smoke them unless you allow a large probability of inaccurate results.

And if you are fine with inaccurate results, classical randomized algorithms make it a much more difficult deadline to beat.
