If only genetic sequences were so finite. And what happens when researchers are developing a new protein that never existed before? Protein folding is NP-hard—even if P=NP is solved, protein folding may still be a challenge. It is likely that there will always be a need for software like this. That said, as another comment points out, Google is merely stepping back from the AlphaFold project, which will continue without their funding or oversight.
