I think it is highly likely. It is my personal belief, bolstered by recent Apple Corp. movement, that Apple is going in the direction of regarding computers, for marketing purposes, as being more akin to appliances than as professional tools. It is costly for Apple Corp. to have to maintain two separate operating systems, especially when their newest OS is the one that runs on the devices that are likely to be biggest sellers and money makers by far in Apple's history. Apple will cede the "professional" market to Windows (why not?) and focus on computing devices of all sorts that offer more of an "everyperson" experience as opposed to a niche market which has been their tradition for the most part. Apple will make devices that will satisfy all age groups, from toddlers to adults, neophytes to geeks. I think this was their aim with the iPad, the plans for which were being worked on well before the iPhone appeared.
