think of this kind of evolution ?

It is the stated goal of the libata (SATA/PATA/ATAPI) developers to
extract themselves back out of the SCSI subsystem.  The trouble is it
may be a year or two or more before they actually do it.  They have at
least once mentioned changing to /dev/diskX at some point.

FIrewire and USB OTOH actually use the SCSI protocol natively.  They
just use a different media (ie. different cable, etc.) to carry the
protocol, so they will likely always be part of SCSI.
