Great read, thanks!
As for the consequences for manufacturers, it will follow the same path once innovation gets to a certain point - they will focus on making everything cheaper and even more unserviceable, as with TV sets and washing machines (my still perfect washing machine is from 1986!).
It will be interesting to see where this leads to with bicycles.
