NI made business mistakes I think at some point, and pairing with PA and Izotope was such an odd move. (To be honest it was mostly odd that Izotope joined).Nope, the roadmap seems to be more clear. NI is hardware, Kontakt and they intend to pump out rompler content likely because the expansion packs did well, and I’m guessing they’ll phase those out in favor of Kontakt only libraries.
Still guessing, they’ll rely on PA and Izotope to provide plugins and synths moving forward (but not likely to include older NI stuff).
Regarding Kontakt and considering the partner companies know more about the future than the customer, look at Spitfire, Orchestral Tools for example moving away from Kontakt and doing their own thing/player.
Kontakt if you put the effort and learn it inside and out is an amazing sampler and has also great effects. A good sampler will always be needed.
