Yes - but hardware is kinda useless if it's not possible to use it.
It may be in a few years the software has caught up - but then the pi4 hardware will be even more outdated. Electronic hardware doesn't tend to get cheaper or "better" with age, so may as well wait until the complete product you want is available before buying instead of keeping it in a cupboard for some possible future performance.
At absolute peak possible hardware performance, the pi4 will be somewhere between a "bit" and a "lot" slower than the Tegra X1 - which puts a hard cap on what people could possibly expect.
