For me, it's just fine if the future of my business does not depend on the corporate decisions of another company.
I do not need or wish for more formats to go away. I still hope for Steinberg to just place VST2 in the public domain. Replacing VST3 was never a goal of my support for CLAP. To the contrary, I was hoping to use CLAP to support more of VST3's features, e.g. Note Expressions (which we do through the wrapper).
So let's be realistic here. VST3, AU and AAX aren't going anywhere (well, not sure about AUv2 vs AUv3).
What we will see though is CLAP in different areas than DAWs. I'm sure it'll find its place and it's meant to stay.

@revvy: That meme was made to point out that most other "standards" have more in common with "platforms", and that by supporting CLAP, we're trying to establish something that looks more like an actual standard, i.e. real standards usually have standard licenses and are not owned by a single competitor etc. etc.
