Hype is hype.

It’s blows that they over promised and got bit by it. And others being bit by it also blows. But betting your academic and professional career in the promises of a third party company, /especially a semiconductor one/, is naive at best and stupid at worst.

Claiming “Intel failed science” is the worst kind of dramatic hyperbole.

Also, this whole idea that some people can’t finish their post docs etc because the computer isn’t ready wreaks of poor planning on their part simply because they were never guaranteed that their project would even properly run/work/scale/whatever on the new system without potentially years more of work.
