Given that nobody, and I mean nobody [including Scott Aaronson[0]] understands Grover's algorithm[1], one can only be certain that value was only delivered to the stakeholders.
The whole industry exists to prove Feynman, uh, consistent[2]. Didn't he say nobody understands quantum, but didn't he also claim that quantum computing can be useful?

Although Scott is the most honest of them all
[1]3b1b was in good company, not sure about now?
[2]he demonstrated that not fooling oneself was of the utmost importance by continuing to provide the prime example of fooling oneself?

How does the paper from [0] show that Aaronson doesn't understand Grover's algorithm? What level of "understanding" are you looking for here?

How’s that Lockheed fusion reactor coming along?

"This study shows that quantum computers are starting to deliver value in real chemical simulations — not just toy problems or idealized systems."
Looking forward towards it. But I am sceptical how much value exactly was added, but I lack the insight here.
