Would this really happen be a relevant dynamic over long time periods? I would assume that at some point the market makers get nervous and stop selling calls?

By long time periods I meant > 1 day. Maybe for a few hours some algorithm can do it's thing mindlessly, but then some real person will look at holdings with human judgement and start worrying. But I guess it depends who you think will be doing the marketmaking, and how stupid you think they are.
