Of course. Not a single quantum computer has done anything but test programs and quantum-specific benchmarks. Until a quantum computer finally does something a normal computer regularly does, but faster, we should simply ignore this area.

until it's better we should simply ignore this

That seems like a strange comment to make. How will it get better if we don't spend the time and effort to make it better?

With quantum computing if you ignore it you are simultaneously not ignoring it?

I don't think so, but yes.
