I'm hopeful that the direction game developers will take is in our favor. While it may be a dream nonetheless, there's still some top titles that are planning on allowing third party server providers.
Don't forget that a lot of clans/gaming communities also like hosting their own servers for the sake of nourishing their community engagement. With more and more AAA titles moving in the other direction, it's also effecting these communities and the level of engagement from players. When BF1 released, a huge clan, Edge Gamers, took a massive hit and it practically wiped out their entire BF division.
Only time will tell but i'm personally hopeful.
