You keep saying it's not a relevant figure, but that is absurd. Factorisation is one of the few problems that we know are in BQP \ P. You could make the argument that we're not at a stage where running Shor's alg. on…
That's a cop out. I agree with what you're saying, but what you're also essentially saying is that QCs are so useless at the moment that the granularity of integers is not enough to measure progress on the hardware.
