You are underestimating the exponential possibilities of keys.

>plus general vulnerabilities and weaknesses discovered, will ensure that anything encrypted today is easily readable in the future.

You can't just assume that there is always going to be new vulnerabilities that cause it to be broken. It ignores that people have improved at designing secure cryptography over time.




From a security perspective, I argue ypu must assume precisely that.

An example being, destroying sensitive backup media upon its retirement, regardless of data encryption.
