If you want to be pedantic it’s one of the 7 problems a specific institute considers to be the most important in mathematics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems

(Not that I think the comparison to pi digits make sense)

are we really moving the goalpost after solving Millenium Prize Problem? Six years ago that would be something, but today let's move the goalpost

If anything I'm diminishing the importance of calculus and pi by comparing it to this bullshit

It's a really bad analogy then. So bad that it's hard to find an analogy describing how bad it is :)
