Complete compliance on digital technology over traditional mirrors and glass?
I'll be honest, but there has been a certain inevitability things in our lifetime would evolve so; all the lenses I own will one day become antiques and redundant to newer technology, the pictures-the moments in time-they have captured, superseded by something better. I guess it's called technology and evolution. Just like the difference in photography from the turn of the twentieth century to what we are capable of doing now.
I suspect what you are touching on, or can't put your finger on, is that ingredient in photography which will always elude your average joe handling a camera to a pro handling one; talent, with that eye to capture something above and beyond what most people are capable of.
Even with such evolutions in technology, I don't think that ingredient is going to go anywhere. People earning serious money from photography aren't just doing so because they've got great kit like a £30K Hasselblad or Phase One; they also know how to use the space presented before them.
Agree on your second point; but that's just a marketing thing for the masses
