Why do most of those predictions remind of a gipsy fortune teller looking into a crystal ball? <img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ThoseSpanishBullmastiff-max-1mb.gif" alt=" " /> or, as Doris Day once sang "the future is not ours to tell". Most of those views are based on what may happen in the US market, but model railroading is an international market, with a number of big international players and the US market is not one of  the bigger ones in that game. I have my doubts that any of the big players are willing to venture into a technology which they deem to be a niche technology or even go to the length of migrating into a new scale. The capital ninvestments into that would be sky high, with very little return. Not to forget, that model railroaders are a very conservative bunch of people who do not easily adopt new scales or technolgies. Just look at the market share N scale has over 50 years after its introduction, or the market share DCC is enjoying after 30+ years!
