Quantium computing represents unique risk to bitcoin. Other systems can be updated centrally and quickly, or can be temporary stopped. Bitcoin cannot. Furthermore an updates to bitcoin are very slow to be introduced. And after an update that introduces quantum resistant addresses, people need a lot of time to move all their coins to the new addresses due to limited block space
Not all "experts" agree that we are decades away. And keep in mind that "experts" often underestimate how fast some of the technolulogy is developed. And furthermore even a 5% risk warrants action. We don't have to be 100% certain.
Bitcoin needs to start work on quantum resistant addresses now. This is the point, not abandoning bitcoin.
