Hypothesis: all short to medium range local buses will eventually converge to become PCIe, Ethernet, or both.
* [S]ATA? Being replaced by NVMe over PCIe
* CAN bus in cars? Being replaced by single pair Ethernet
* USB4 is basically Thunderbolt which is basically PCIe
* Lots of industrial RS485 etc field buses are being replaced with Ethernet
I suspect we're not too far from seeing a new PC monitor interface standard that encapsulates video inside Ethernet frames or PCIe TLPs the way this is headed.
The unification of PCIe and Ethernet is probably further off but isn't entirely implausible.
