I wouldn't worry too much. In order for the Mac to continue to serve as a development platform, it can't be completely locked down. They're making it clear these days that they care a lot about the app ecosystem, so there will have to be a replacement before they take away the ability to install your own apps and get at the shell.

More likely is that more of Apple's product line, and more of everyone's computing, will shift to iOs.

Couldn't they just require you to install Xcode to get an "unlocked/developer" system?

They would have to be utterly insane to try something like that. I would expect the stock price to drop like a rock if something like that came out.
