Quantum computing is like fusion power. There are so many complicated little details that we discover as we go and that have to be exactly right that success at a meaningful scale is always just over the horizon.
I only read about this stuff, so I might be completely wrong and the analogy might actually be stupid. :)
BTW this was also true for the creation of the silicon transistor if I remember correctly. Having to have many things exactly right for it to work well.
