I think on the contrary that this new tunneling mechanism will create the
demand required for native multicast deployment. 

Also, it will create an incentive for ISPs to deploy native multicast with
the goal of decreasing the traffic generated by hundreds or thousands of
individual tunnels.

Congratulations Ross, this was much needed.
