D-Wave quantum annealers solve problems classical algorithms struggle with

I get the impression that all these quantum computing "results" are actually just quantum experiments dictated by the hardware and they don't have enough degrees of freedom in the system to control it enough to be called a computer.

And of course simulating a complex quantum system classically is intractable, so the comparison to classical computers is deceptive.

I'm mostly just waiting for Scott Aaronson to tell me any of these sorts of claims are true

Like other quantum supremacy claims, it cannot be proved by others.
