What will happen with liquidity marketplaces such as Pool and Magma if the LSP Spec is successful and gets widely adopted?
Even with the LSPSpec, there are still mechanisms needed to help users select the right LSP because they differ in their feature set, reliability, and more. I can see a future where LN Explorers aggregate price/feature/reliability data and suggest LSPs to connect to. Some smart entrepreneur will come up with a business model for that I am sure.

I think they will definitely still exist and be very helpful. Ideally they'd adopt the spec as well.

Marketplaces help in diversifying your liquidity in addition to an LSP.

I would like to see them support the LSP spec

There's room for marketplaces even via a standardized interface
