I think the reason the pendulum swings back is more mundane: reduced availability of capital. Companies that survive must "do more with less" and will no longer be paying out the ear for a SaaS that barely gets the job done.
Most SaaS will go out of business. Dev cycles will shift proportionally to working more on enterprise systems and the open standards that support them.

After a while the Trough of Disillusionment kicks in and you get either late adopters or people who expect hazard pay for continuing to work on things, so at the same time the money is drying up, the money you do have begins to buy less and less, which is a feedback loop. People are not wanting to roll their own cloud, or index their own logs. They want to chew on other problems.
