This trend will stop. Modern engines are very elastic with wide powerband and adding speeds/gears in the transmission is pointless. At some point your gain of optimizing the rpm becomes negligible (because torque curve is essentially flat) and even with fast transmissions you lose a moment to change gears.
The future will be CVT for a short while, before transmissionless electric motors take over.
