It taking a long time doesn't make it an impossibility. The fact that it has a limit of 122 bits, in and of itself, makes the possibility of a bruteforce a mathematical guarantee.

For all practical purposes, it's impossible.

It's not, though. And thinking that it is impossible is why DES, for example, was "translatable" by the NSA for decades. Never assume something is impossible just because it's difficult.
