One issue that I do not like it that one discussion of them refered to lamps etc being made with permament LEDs, so when the light does go the lamp etc is trash. Seems wasteful at the expense of saving a few pennies.
I hope this does not come about.
Depends on how many suckers will buy it. At one time, SUVs were the rage. When gas prices hit the roof and then some, they were dumped like yesterday's dog poop. People were buying the econo-mobiles that would save them a few bucks at the pump but would pay more in the long run. So as long as some suckers are willing to pay the premium, why should I lower my prices?

Depends on the price of the lamp, I would say. If the bulk of the costs were in the bulb, the lamp becomes disposable.
