No, a QuickSSL CA still provides a useful service that helps prevent man in
the middle attacks. I agree, certs will drop in price, but this will  not be
the death of them. They will become like domain names with fully automated
provisioning and good competition. Eventually, I would expect that they
would become just another bundled service provided as part of your domain
name registration.
