That's why ICANN is approving new gTLDs to free up the namespace with new TLD strings.
To many names have been held in speculation and never developed. A lot of these .com names that have been long held is speculation for years will become commoditized and worth little if the name dilution of the new gTLDs becomes a reality.
Google's subsidary; Charleston Road Registry Inc., has applied for 102 new gTLDs

Yes, I think we will see a huge shift to other gTLDs once Google prioritizes them in the serps. I personally have already seen a drop in dot com so and don't know that it will change back.
