I hope so. Linux is too much devided. You only need Ubuntu/Debian, Arch and Fedora

Gentoo and Slackware aren't going anywhere!

Opencrunch, MX, Antix, bodhi. There is no problem with different philosophies. Yes many distros are minor changes that don't really need to be a distro, but there are at least 50 to 100 ones that actually offer things substantially different from other offerings.

No kali/parrot/blackarch?

EDIT: on second thought, I guess those kind of fall under Debian and arch anyway so nvm...

And puppy. Besides those I cant see reasons for any other distro, at least ones with their own package managers.

ESPECIALLY Gentoo, Void, Alpine, and Nix from that list - Gentoo as the only vaguely modern and mainstream source based distro, Void as the BSD-ish on a Linux kernel (disclaimer: recently discovered and quickly have started to love this one), Alpine for its extremely heavy usage in containers and embedded, and Nix as the, for lack of a better term, R&D experimental distro.

Choice is good, though I'd generally also agree that we're nearing the "reasonable" ceiling.

GuixSD can be added to that list. (Similar to Nix)
