Basically your argument is of the form: IBM is the best and there is no future in the desktop. No one is going to want to have to buy software from multiple vendors. They want the same guys who made the hardware, to make the OS, and to make the software.
You have no idea how frustrating it is to deal with companies like Rockwell and Siemens. From endless tech support licenses, to special cables, to refusing to support any new features, to lockdown down protocols. I can share my python code with anyone, not my compactlogix code. Every single sin of the tech industry you can name these guy implement.
Eventually they will lose. Eventually the PLC will either become like every other embedded dev platform or get replaced by ones that are.
Also, fuck having to deal with stl and ladder logic, if the industry minded towards more common languages and frameworks, you wouldn't need to have mechanical engineers learning plc programming, you could have actual developers working on it.
Every second that I had to spend on software like tia portal drove me further and further away from industrial automation
