Its not too easy, we still don't know how powerfull it is and how long to generate all the private keys. If that too powerfull, then it can be they don't have enough power(such as electricity) to make it happen and i guess only trusted people or reputable people that can use quantum computer, and maybe bitcoin developer can collaborate with them and create better security.
Well, quantum computer still on development. Until then, bitcoin developer can think or do something about it.

I think most of people here in the forum are amazed with technology, and we have seen some technology gets obsolete, well, that could be one scenario for bitcoin. The quantum computes are on the way, and they will be really powerful. If the human create super computers that could be the end of bitcoin because with one simple command you can get all the private keys.
So, the new technology in some point will become a vulnerability for the old technology, and developers should be one step forward to avoid this happen.
