It's because Bitcoin is incredibly well designed. All of the low hanging fruit has been harvested, now we're just trimming fringe along the edges.

Admittedly, I am a mid-brain just beginning to get into this stuff.
But from what I hear the number of workable qubits is growing very quickly, and that is accelerating.
The implication of that is that instead of looping for eons to find a solution to a problem all possible solutions within that qubit space can be attempted, basically simultaneously.
This seems to reduce the probability that doing nothing is a workable strategy.
I don’t have an informed opinion for how Bitcoin needs to solve this.
But it seems clear to me that (without wanting to sound alarmist), we do need to work on this … very soon.
