I don't think it will. There will always be skaters that are more jumpers and less artists than others, but there are also skaters who are both. Like with the men when Yuzuru was jumping multiple quads and was winning against Patrick, this discussion came up. And Yuzuru kept improving his artistry to where he is today, and now he is both an incredible quad jumper and artist. Then the same discussion came up with Nathan came with all his quads. But his artistry has improved over time as well, while jumping quads.
Of course there were men that could jump but were never strong artistically, and this is the case with ladies as well. And this is true with not only quads, but also triples and doubles - some people are better jumpers than artists, but that doesn't mean there aren't skaters that can't do both. The current ladies who jump quads are 15 and younger. Look at the male counterparts - Yuzuru and Nathan, and compare their artistry today with how they were at 15, there is a huge improvement. There's no reason to suspect that the ladies won't improve as well.
