This assumes that some nation-state attacker is interested in your
Google log-in, and isn't allied with the NSA who could just ask
Google to let them in anyway. It's still going to be many years
until quantum computers are within reach of your average hacker
sorts looking to make things hard for normal people/businesses.
Quantum-safe encryption schemes will probably be widely adopted
before that.

If you're an aerospace company sharing the designs for the latest
jet fighter over the internet, it's hardly a great idea to just
rely on HTTPS encryption as the only line of defence anyway.
