Will regenerative braking become the primary method for energy recovery in future EVs?

Regenerative braking has come a long way, but some argue it's still a secondary benefit rather than a core efficiency tool. As EV powertrains evolve, could we see a shift where most of the vehicle’s energy recuperation relies almost entirely on regen, reducing the need for traditional friction brakes? What would that mean for brake wear, safety standards, and driving dynamics? And how might software control strategies need to adapt to balance regeneration with predictable deceleration? I’m curious about the community’s take—do you think future EVs will prioritize regen to the point of redefining braking, or will a hybrid approach remain essential?
