Lattice-based cryptography exists in the present (Both Chrome and Firefox support X25519MLKEM768 hybrid key agreement, by default)

Yes, but it exists because it was deemed better to be cautious and implement PQC despite the uncertainty and different points of view around the time scale to have cryptographically relevant quantum computers (or, from a different point of view, precisely due to the uncertainties). Their comment was in the wrong tone, but the doubts are there. BTW, PQC can be interesting to learn regardless of the discussion around quantum computers.
