Exactly. And if the 'ordinary' DSLR do become a niche too, all those here now saying 'my good old camera X is enough' just won't find any replacement, not a single one, in a couple of years, for all the DSLR costs will have rocketed to Leica or even Hasselblad levels.
Anyone with a Hasselblad here? For years these have been a dream for me, and now its one of the very first dreams I know I'll never realize.
Even more, Hasselblad now has lost pace with a number of supporting accessories, like memories, and, one would even say, proper zooms.
That is what is feared, at least by the OP.
Compare that with the situation just a couple of years ago, where one could imagine far bigger evolutions than 'just more pixels than last year' -multispectral imaging comes to mind, which would have just erased the mere notion of color temperature adjustment, for instance.
This kind of future is just vanishing if the photo industry is drowning the way the OP describes...
