Yes, in my mind, the future will be pointer only. Even if UAs still implement mouse for legacy content, authors should never write new code using mouse and they should never use the APIs for controlling whether pointer events are promoted to mouse events. If the entire mouse-related API could be in its own section and not required, that would be ideal.
