Off-topic but what ever happened to this [1] Google quantum computing breakthrough?

Major buzz happened in 2019 but since then, it feels, crickets. Did the NSA swoop in and silence all publication of further development or something?

Major buzz happened because Google made big claims. Were those actually justified, or were the critics cited in the article correct?

If they were shown to be false, I would have expected that discussion to surface occasionally. However, all I've heard is silence.
