The whole point of any merge is that one entire UI framework goes away. There is no way Apple will keep two entire APIs available after a transition period.
It looks to me like iOS will win, this has been obvious for some time based on the revenue and new API work:

I think it is significantly more likely that UIPickerView ends up being "themed" on macOS to look like NSPopUpButton.
