I'd argue the opposite, which is that the future will have even more layers of abstraction, not less, since that's been the trend for quite some time.

My prediction is absolutely not "fewer total layers of abstraction", but only that this one will be collapsed in time. You can collapse one layer of abstraction and add two more, which is sufficient for my prediction to be compatible with the "more total layers of abstraction" prediction. :)
