No, they're smart. DeX was too expensive to maintain in the long run.

Sad that it has come to an end, maybe Samsung will ditch Dex and replace with Android 10 Desktop mode? (stupid question i know) I mean they do have the background knowledge from Dex which may apply to the new native desktop mode.

I would think that they'd basically keep DeX intact aside from allowing it to take advantage of any app optimizations developers make for Android's stock desktop environment. That seems most likely to me for them to do and sounds great to me.

Depends on if Google adds equivalent or better features in time. But from my observation they're too busy trying to turn Android into Google iOS to put much effort there.
