Sure, there’s nothing to do with them yet and they are very pricey. But the first home computers were the same way and in 20 years they went from an expensive hobbiest toy to ubiquitous in most middle-to-upper class homes.
I think it’s entirely reasonable accessible and cheapish quantum computers will be available as personal/home devices. If nothing else, because we’ll need quantum chips in our devices to handle encryption since cheap quantum computing will destroy classical encryption algorithms.

You missed the news last week - they’re available now starting at $8K
