To solve the NP-hard problems in hardware design and such, you don't necessarily need a solver that works on all ("random", "general position") NP-hard problems. You can find and exploit regularities in the problems that actually arise. We humans seem to do just that: someone who plays chess well can't easily convert their skill to other chess-like games.
Yes, that seems to be a very good point. It is unlikely an AI is going to need to solve arbitrary instances of the traveling salesman or graph coloring.
