Do you have any QC experience? Because I strongly disagree with your statement, depending on the level of abstraction that you mean.

At some point in the future certain quantum algorithms will become 'callable' from traditional programming languages, and will be usable by any competent programmer without much hassle. But making the quantum algorithms themselves is quite a different ballgame altogether, very much unlike traditional programming.

I'm a pragmatic person. If QC mental model is so complex that I can't learn it in a few weeks, then very few in the world can and QC will remain a subject of scientific papers understood by a few.
