Not necessarily, considering Apple's market dominance. A good majority of accessory makers usually weigh either developing for USB or Apple's proprietary connectors (40 pin and Lightning). If Lighting were to become legacy because of this move, it would mean more competition between accessory manufacturers. And more competition means more innovation.

Apple most definitely has no dominance for its smartphones anywhere. Even in US where it's larger than anywhere else, Apple's market share is much less than 50%.
