Not in theory, but it's like saying we shouldn't design the language based 
on semantics of existing processors, because it will lead to non-optimal 
performance on quantum computers.  The fact these tools/hardware/backends 
already exist is worth a huge amount in producing a language that is useful, 
even if not optimally optimal.
