I have the same thought. I'm not saying that torrefaction doesn't have a positive effect on tone; I've never played a guitar with torrefied wood, so I'll defer to the experts on that.
But I wouldn't be surprised if, in 10-20 years, the market for torrefied wood is saturated and some other process takes it place, at least among the bigger companies. Heck, we may even see new guitars built from "pre-millennium" designs!
