How many high-end audiophile headphones are actually wireless? ... And how many wireless headphones also provide a wired port?
I'd say wired is going to be around for a while yet.
Ultimately its up to consumers to tell companies what they want through their purchases. Regardless, even if it turns into a market niche, as long as there is a profit to be made, companies will continue to provide the goods.
Remember the the introduction of the CD? Many said vinyl records would disappear within a few years but look at them now...
Now on the topic of convenience, even if you only own bluetooth sources you can continue to use a portable dac/amp with bluetooth capabilities along with your wired audiophile headsets...
Edit: clarity

Yeah, I take my Airpods out and spend a little quality time listening to music at work on IEMs with the Qudelix 5K. It is essentially as convenient other than phone calls, but those are rare while I'm working, so when it's slow, I listen to some music.
