Honest non-snarky question: why do people poo-poo postquantum crypto as an unrealistic attack vector, when it's standard practice to use crypto that is much stronger than any conceivable future attacker? That is, deploying PQC doesn't seem that much sillier than using 10+ rounds for AES vs 7-9, but people seem basically fine being conservative with extra AES rounds?
