Now, granted, Light Peak is far more versatile than USB3, but that doesn’t ensure adoption, especially if it’s significantly more expensive to manufacture than USB3. Maybe the two can coexist, but they’ve got some overlap.

Nah, no overlap, I think this is a game-changer and will over-whelm all other connectors. Goodbye SATA, USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, etc. Finally we get rid of the messy mass of sphagetti all over and FAST, really really FAST, connection speeds. What's not to like? And I bet this will come over us like a tidal wave.

Light Peak isn't going to eliminate multiple cable standards. It might supplant some, but DisplayPort, SATA, Ethernet, etc are not going to disappear when Light Peak shows up. Right now the biggest bottleneck in computing is not transfer speeds (well, USB 2.0 aside) but rather access time, especially on traditional magnetic platter HDDs.
