Your encryption might take the age of the universe to break with current computing hardware, but we wouldn’t be having this conversation if vacuum tubes were still a thing. 1024-bit DKIM used to be the gold standard, now it’s unusably weak and 2048-bit is king, due to advances in computing hardware.
Are you really going to bet we don’t make faster computers in the next 20 years? Or that you’ll be aware an adversary can break your encryption the instant they have the capability?

That is assuming anyone still gives two hoots about your data by the time that lock can be cracked by anything that’s not a supercomputer
