I agree, also. However, with C-19 accelerating things, it appears they may decide to use ICs for a time while they transition into a 'big tech' solution. But I think we can safely assume they won't hesitate for a second to drop them like a hot potato once they're set up - and I don't think that will take very long. Again, with RON, state boundaries become irrelevant as one location can handle signings anywhere.
I do think there will likely be a few players competing with each other, and a few ICs may be able to survive here and there, especially in more rural areas where various electronic services may lag. But I believe those will be outliers, with fewer and fewer over time. After all, electronic recording has been expanding into counties across the country for about a decade now.
As for title/escrow companies not wanting to do these themselves, that's something that has changed over time in the past and can easily change again in the future, regardless of what they might believe today. I do think there will be some holdouts who will not want to get into this (and yes, probably the smaller, mom and pop type shops), but I think those numbers are likely to diminish over time, not grow.
The only thing we can be sure of regarding what the next 5 years will bring is that it will likely involve a great deal of change - just like everything else in life...
