That goal of ceasing to exist is the primary driving force behind Cordova, and something I feel very very strongly about. It's why we should be encouraging people to adopt web-compatible APIs where available instead of plugins, and why our plugins should be acting as polyfills.
The eventual hope should be that any Cordova app is also a few small steps away from being deployable as a Progressive Web App, and that we can deprecate all the plugins and platforms because the web will have finally closed the "gap" that PhoneGap was meant to bridge.
