All these examples can be very quickly uodated to quantum resistant cryptography. Most of them quite easily.
Bitcoin will first need to develop quantium resistant addresses and then all the people need to move their coins to the new addresses. This may take years and should be completed before quantium computers are powerful enough to break bitcoin cryptography.

Work on post quantium addresses in bitcoin should be now, not after quantium computers are strong enough.

So that's the reason, because Bitcoin is a decentralized network that must come to consensus and roll out any necessary changes in an orderly and agreed upon fashion whereas these other technologies and entities have more centralized control and can react more quickly. That makes sense.

Yes, exactly. The point here is not "bitcoin sucks becaus quantum will break it". The point is "Take this seriously and start working on post quantum addresses now".
