Most companies in the PQC area have the ability to do just that, so it isn’t a differentiator, so that is possibly why companies don’t promote it. The fear of Q-Day is still the most popular form of marketing PQC technology, even though it is highly unlikely of happening in our lifetimes. That is unfortunate, as crypto-agility resolves the current problem quite nicely.
@darkuncle I like that phrase, "attacks always get better, they never get worse"
Can I propose an alternative? Do not look for quantum-resistant encryption. Rather replace the entire existing public-key-private key cryptography with something entirely new. If possible something based on quantum computing principles.

@darkuncle Does that improve the chances of us see a practical quantum computer soon?
The first #QuantumPC_OS for private #quantum_computer.
You won't know if the #PC is running or dead until you log in.

A scientist claims to have developed an inexpensive system for using quantum computing to crack RSA, which is the world's most commonly used public key algorithm. If true, this would be a breakthrough that comes years before experts predicted. Now, they're asking for proof.
