On a long enough time horizon, do we all become miners?

On a long enough time horizon we will all be under ground. So in some ways... yes?

We once all were miners so this would be the ultimate reversal of trends. But I doubt it, because hashing simply scales very well.
But, even if 0.7-1% of blocks are mined by individual honeybadgers that don't care, with their own blocktemplate policies and no pool middleman1 then we'll have a block a day on average that isn't governable or coercible.
