It is difficult to predict when the last of the ICE engines will appear on the market, but estimates under, say, ten years from now would seem to be aggressive and beg for a degree of skepticism. We should accordingly be skeptical of any suggestion that engines on the market ten years from now will offer no significant higher output than those of today.
Nothing I have posted said anything about IC Engines not being on the market.

People seem to be reading into something not posted
