Kuwakado and Morii need the legitimate Even--Mansour user to be running a quantum computer that reveals ciphertexts for attacker-specified superpositions of plaintexts. Johansson and Larsson need the user to be screaming "Look, attacker, here's my key!" There's no threat here.

If the recent, potential de-quantized attack proves even partially correct, it shows one must push for quantum resistant cryptographic schemes, not only because of future quantum threats, but to address immediate, purely classical concerns.

Classical Simon's algorithm seems different to classical Shor. No evidence of classical poly time factoring or DLP.

The threat here is against symmetric modes of operation, not public-key schemes.
