That sounds like confiscation! What if the owner shows up with the valid key before the QCs are done?

The "freeze" proposals always come with a grace period for ppl to migrate to a new QC-secure address. Owner should have plenty of time to secure their coins (usually years)

Maybe I didn't explain myself well, I was talking before quantum computers became a thing. I imagine the freezing would happen before that.
