I would have a counter question - do you think that all existing printers in the world which have a printer driver work correctly on Linux? I don't believe.:)
Breaking what has worked well for years is the worst idea, IMO.
OpenPrinting community plans to create printer applications for widely known printer drivers, plus those applications can use your own PPD file once you upload it to the application and the same is planned to do with plugins/firmware (you will be able to use 3rd party plugins and firmware with printer applications).
Good, but only when this task is fully completed, the deprecated CUPS features can be removed.
Introducing a new API -> implementing new apps for all available printers -> deprecating the old API -> removing the old API.
