I totally get you there, yes no one person should have over half a billion dollars while so many others plus the environment are suffering.

As far as scientific advancement, I think humanity is already reaching the peak of that mountain. Sure there's still more to be discovered, but at what cost?

How much does it cost in research and design, manufacturing and programming a quantum computer? I dunno what their finances look like, but if I had to spot a wild guess, that already sounds like over half a billion dollars...
