It's more likely that third party integrators will look after the demand for SSD SAS/SATA devices, and the demand won't go away because SAS multiplexers are cheap and NVMe/PCIe is point to point and expensive to make switching hardware for. Likely we'd need a different protocol to make scaling up the number of high speed SSDs in a single box to work well.
